Pretty underwhelming article if I'm honest. It seems to focus more on looks than interesting technical choices. This dactyl-manuform with a built-in trackball

  Author here - thanks for the feedback. if I'd seen this board then I definitely would have included it in the article! Would you happen to have the contact info for the creator?

    I found it frustrating that I couldn't click the images to see higher resolution versions.

  The full title of the article is “The 17 coolest custom mechanical keyboards we’ve ever seen”, not “The 17 most ergonomic mechanical keyboards we’ve ever seen”. Pretty disingenuous to judge an article’s merit over a subject it was never meant to be about.

  You really can't talk about 'tracktyl's and not mention qqurn! Not only does he have a really nice tracktyl design(1), but his repo's includ DM's with button, trackball, and trackstick/electric eraser thumb clusters. Really a great place to start if you want to make a Dactyl Manuform (DM) based keyboard. 1: https://imgur.com/a/TDE640k https://imgur.com/a/TDE640k 2: https://gitlab.com/keyboards1 https://gitlab.com/keyboards1
