Forked from the [Dactyl](/keyboards/handwired/dactyl), the *Dactyl ManuForm* is a parameterized, handwired, split bodied, tented, concave key-well design that incorporates the thumb cluster from the [ManuForm](https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46015.0).
The *Dactyl ManuForm* requires two micro controller boards, one per half, which differs from the *Dactyl's* original implementation of a micro controller and an I/O expander.
The *Dactyl ManuForm* requires two development boards, one per half, which differs from the *Dactyl's* original implementation of a developemnt board and an I/O expander.
*Dactyl ManuForms* are built in variations that cater for different row and column counts.
*Dactyl ManuForms* are built in variations that cater for different row and column counts; there is no default.

Standard key layout (per half):

- The thumb cluster has 6 keys, arranged in a staggered 2 columns by 3 rows
