Dactyl Tracer

The Dactyl Tracer is a handwired, split bodied, concave key-well, columnar keyboard. Case design is similar to the Dactyl CC though overall design is closer to the Dactyl ManuForm. The Q and P keys are vertically offset, from A and ; keys respectively, to allow for easier actuation by third/ring finger.
