  • I have been working on a Wayland Tiling WM and have thought about expanding more into the DE space. While it’s finally starting to get to a good spot, it’s pretty daunting to consider all of the other items that need to be developed for a fully-featured DE. Especially when it’s something I’m doing as a side project after my day job. I think for anything bigger it’d require financial backing, for which open source projects are still struggling to find a good solution.



  • It’s hard to tell if it’s a similar cause, but I had issues with double-inputs and occasionally keys would work intermittently on my Dactyl Manuform.

    After getting frustrated enough having resoldered it several times, I hot-glued the PCBs to the case. The thinking that small movements during a key press was causing the contacts to be broken. Everything has been working great ever since!

    If you want to be cautious and have a multimeter, you could also check the connections between the keys. That might help isolate where to focus your efforts.
