From the project
A modular clean custom split keyboard
Tactile is a custom split mechanical keyboard for programming, live coding and CAD, with a thumb touchpad for pointer control.
The aim is a keyboard that feels personal and comfortable during long desk sessions. A split layout lets each hand rest at its own angle, while thumb controls reduce trips between the keyboard and mouse. Tactile switches give clear feedback, and printed keycaps and a case leave room for customization.
