Love this idea.
If the zombie's body still has some link to the soul such that it could see and react to the ghost, they could make an extremely awkward yet dangerous team.
"Come over this way, buddy! Brains over here!"
"Brainsh?" Shuffle, shuffle.
"Yup, see?" The ghost points triumphantly at a hamster cage. "Lots of juicy little brains to eat!"
"Awww... Tired of mowsh brainsh! WANT HOOMAN BRAINSH!"
Zombie takes another vicious swipe at the ghost but finds only air.
"Why can no eat you brainsh again?"
"As I've explained all evening, I'm ethereal, not really here, sorry, friend. It's mouse or nothing."
The zombie's shoulders slump in disappointment, but he turns to the hamster cage. The hamsters peer back, vaguely uneasy.
"C'mere cute liddle mowshes..."
Clang, squeak, munch, munch, munch.
Is that Santa Monica beach? North of the Pier?
Nice cat.
That's an absolutely awful video. Loud, obnoxious, disingenuous and not even remotely as funny, informative, comprehensive, or clever as the idiot who made it thinks it is. It's valueless content made to be ingested and served up by an algorithm.
Just, you know, hanging and drinking cider at the arcade bar with the latest Wylderbuilds keyboard.
Another jumbo build, a full row 6x7 Dactyl Manuform with dual trackballs. It's got 88 keys total, like a grand piano, so if you're layer-averse, this one's for you.
It's got a gorgeous dark navy gray resin case with a matte acrylic finish and shiny black trackballs. If you squint a little, it might tingle your spidey-sense. It's a beautiful build and a real joy to type on.
And it's that time of year when we celebrate all things Ireland! Which is nice!
But, I have to ask, what about poor Iceland? Doesn't Iceland deserve some love, too?

Hello, all. Lots of stuff going on here.
These pictures aren't full builds, obviously. Rather, they're trial prints of some standard dactyl manuform models I plan to offer. They'll be available as kits and for full builds at a solidly lower price point than our fully custom builds. I want to make manuforms with a nice selection of bells and whistles more generally affordable.
So, I'd like to gauge the thoughts of folks on here and see what features as standard make the most sense.
That's a 6x7 in the main image, but I'm also planning a 3x6:
And a 5x6:
My current plan is that they include by default:
A. One trackball with regular pointer and dragscroll modes. Can choose left side or right side.
B. One rotary encoder above the trackball set as volume control and mute on base layer and page up/page down on other layers.
C. One OLED screen on the non-trackball side displaying current keymap layer, active mod keys, mouse mode, and words-per-minute.
D. Pi Pico or other rp2040 controllers.
E. USB-C cabling all around.
F. QMK firmware with Vial support for editing the keymaps, layers, and other features on the fly.
As a base set of features, how do those sound to folks?
Outstanding bits I'm still debating:
A. Are there other sizes missing here that you'd all rather see? 3x5? 4x6? 6x6?
B. Hot swap support always or hand-wired switches? If hard-wired, what selection of switches and keycaps would you like to see? I know that's an insane question as the options are endless. The point here is lower cost, though, not high end. I want to offer whole-package builds, ready to plug in and start typing, and forgoing hot swap would save on overall cost and build time.
C. Wireless? ZMK firmware is coming on strong and I'm doing quite a few wireless builds these days. It would add to price considerably, though.
D. Any other features? Other firmwares? Other controllers or hardware?
Would love to hear any and all thoughts.
And, of course, here's the plug for the store:
There's still slots to get a full build at 10% off! Just use discount code WYLD_BUNCH at checkout.

Also, I have DOZENS of old stock prints. Test prints. Prints with the wrong features or sizing. And, of course, prints with slight failures or cosmetic issues. Since dactyl manuforms are such a departure for most people, I'm offering these halves at five bucks a pop (plus shipping) so anyone curious can actually throw switches on and get their hands on one to see how it feels. It'll be a random side and size, just specify if you want left or right ($5 each) or both ($9). If you get both, just know they're unlikely to match if we don't have a matching pair.

They're usually set up so one is a standard pointing device and the other is used for content scrolling. I also had one customer who wanted both as pointing devices, but the left one with DPI set for very fine movements.
Instead of the shiny end-result I usually post for Wylderbuilds, I thought I'd post a build near the finish line. It's a dual trackball 3x6 Dactyl Manuform. The case is printed in black PETG and I'm using custom breakouts for Pi Pico controllers along with flexible PCBs on the columns (from The Big Skree,https://skree.us)
The trackball sensors are PMW3360s. I have a guide for setting them up with QMK here:

SHH, IT'S OK, EVERYTHING'S FINE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT, BUT YES, IT'S GOT AN F-ROW, YES. IS THAT SO VERY WRONG?
Nope, you're not seeing double. It's two identical Polydactyl builds (the Polydactyl is a big, flatter Dactyl Manuform variant.)
These two massive monsters feature:
- 87 keys total.
- White resin cases.
- Dual trackballs (scroller on left, pointer on right.)
- Dual OLEDs.
- Rotary mouse-wheel style encoder.
- NEW! Per-key RGB backlighting.
- All running QMK on Pi Pico controllers with Vial support.
They're massive! But we build all shapes and sizes with as many or as few fancy features as you'd like!
And it's that time of year!

This time it's a minimal build, a 3x6 Dactyl Manuform with dual encoders on the right pinky column.
This build is printed in a shimmer black PLA that always comes out remarkably well. The silver trackball on the right does the pointing thing and the gold on the left navigates content via drag scroll. It's a terrific little Miryoku-ready keyboard with the latest QMK firmware and full Vial support.
Sizes range from 3x5 to 6x7 with cases printed in resin or PLA. All builds are fully hot-swappable, run on QMK, KMK, or ZMK, and now use USB-C for all connections (except wireless models.)
Other options include:
- Bluetooth Wirless support.
- Trackballs (one or two).
- OLED screens.
- Rotary encoders (wheel encoders now supported!)
- RGB Underglow
- A selection of Kailh switches.
Pick up a build today!

I was actually going to respond with the Discworld series in general, but Death's dialogue there puts it in a nutshell. We're not creatures of reason, but of narrative, fiction. I might not have come to that view if not for reading Terry Pratchett.
Of course!
I maintain a python-based generator here:
https://github.com/bullwinkle3000/dactyl-keyboard
It can be a PITA to get working to generate STL and STEP files with the cadquery engine. If you have issues, just reach out to me.
And I also have a fork of Vial-QMK here:
https://github.com/bullwinkle3000/vial-qmk
The specific setup for this build is this subdirectory:
Oh, yeah, it is pricey. With all those bells and whistles, it's around $675 prior to the 10% sale discount..
Yeah, it's a lot, isn't it?
This is the most feature-rich build I've done yet at Wylderbuilds.
It's a... (big breath in)... Full 6x7 Dactyl Manuform printed in translucent blue PLA with full hot-swap support, dual trackballs, dual OLED screens, dual rotary encoders, underglow RGB, running QMK... wheeze... with Vial support... gasp... on Pi Pico controllers!
It's not for jotting down grocery lists.
Well, unless it's the grocery list of the gods.
In other news, our back-to-school sale is still on. Get 10% off all orders of $50 or more with code ERGONOMICS-101. Sale ends on August 31st, so act... Well, that's like over two weeks away, so you've got time.
But feel free to browse!
Cheers!

PS. The switches shown are my test switches used during builds. They're not included in the build as it's fully hot swap capable, so customers can use any switches they like. The switches on the left are Kailh Speed Copper and on the right they're Kailh Purple Pros. I didn't have enough of either for the whole, vast keyboard.
You hate it precisely because of how you described it. It's a game where you often end up paying a price, where the reveal is more often a punishment, not a reward. You've sensibly learned to dread it.
His half of the game is that always gets is to see your reaction in the moment. If it's something bad, he gets a big reaction out of you. It's always a payout for him. Not for you.
