Looks a bit like the Datahand, been using those for the past 20 years. One difference is that the Datahand also has keys on the left and right of each finger f

  That's what I was looking for! Also the actuation pressure is probably way less on the DH since it uses infrared switches.

    Yeah, the feel of those switches is a big deal and it's probably the hardest part to reproduce. One funny consequence of using IR switches is that direct sunlight can trigger them. I've had a few occasions when I was greeted by a screenful of repeated characters when I returned to my desk.

  Sidenote: If you (or anyone else) has one to sell, I'd love to try QMK'ing one. Those Hall effect switches and design are amazing.

    I am not familiar with QMK but I have converted mine to use a Teensy++ and wrote a simple firmware for that. The nice thing about the Teensy++ is that it fits into the socket of the original 8051 (clone), you only have to crosswire or remove a couple of pins. This post inspired me to modify my own in a very similar fashion: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=12212.0 https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=12212.0 Teensy++: https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensypp.html https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensypp.html And this is the firmware I wrote and still use: https://github.com/imarko/dhteensy https://github.com/imarko/dhteensy I think there might be some better versions out there but I wrote this to work just the way I wanted so never bothered with anything else. I don't have one to sell unfortunately, my spares may need to last me a lifetime :)
