Dactyl Lightcycle

A handwired, split bodied, concave key-well, columnar keyboard.
The Dactyl Lightcycle is a variation of the Dactyl keyboard, its differences are:

1. Top (number) row removed
2. Five key thumb cluster; one less than the Dactyl's six

This modernised rendition of the Dactyl Lightcycle requires two Pro Micro controllers, rather than the Dactyl's original implementation of a micro controller and I/O expander.

• Keyboard Maintainer: Matt Adereth
• Hardware Supported: 2x Pro Micro micro controller, or clone of
• Hardware Availability: Case files available on GitHub, file names beginning "lightcycle" apply
