This ist a fork of abstracthat/dactyl-manuform while this is a fork of adereth/dactyl-keyboard
I will simply describe all the steps I took to build this keyboard.
For any information check out the original repos.
I decided myself for a 5x6 60% Layout and took the blueprint from the forked repositorie.

Switches Cherry MX Blue
CHERRY MX BLUE
The characteristic of this tactile switch is featured by tactile and audible feedback. Thanks to the striking "click", the CHERRY MX Blue not only provides noticeable, but also acoustic feedback. The switch with the CHERRY MX click technology is thus establishes itself as a courageous choice.
- Tactile and audible switching characteristics
- 60 cN operating force
- 2.2 mm pre travel
- 4.0 mm total travel
- With click

Mechanics
I highly recommend checking each switch with a multimeter, depending on how the keyboard is built there is no longer the possibility to change the switches!
