I type in Dvorak but prefer to do the remapping in software rather
than hardware so I don't have to change layouts when I switch to my
laptop's internal keyboard. However, the =hwdv= key switches it to
-hardware dvorak mode, which is useful for attaching to computers that
-may not have software dvorak set up. The =paste= key sends

shift+insert, while the =reset= button activates the bootloader,
allowing easy reprogramming without opening the case.
** Firmware

you. Use the =.hex= file with the [[http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html][teensy loader]] or Arduino tools to
You'll need a soldering iron, solder, a glue gun, a multimeter, wire,
wire strippers, and a 5-pin USB Mini-B cable. You'll also need seven M3
machine screws with nuts; the length of the screws depends on the

you'll need two with five for the rows with the inner thumb
