A tremor does not just miss a key. The strike shoves the keyboard, and the next key is no longer where the hand expects it.
This is a tray the full-size Logitech MX Keys drops into, with a low wrist rest on the near edge. 2 Clamps hook the front of the desk, so the keyboard stays put. Nothing is screwed, glued, or drilled into the keyboard nor the desk. The parts lock together with dovetails.
Who is this for?
This is for someone whose hands shake whent hey press a key, including essential tremor or Parkinson's. The clamps stops the keyboard from walking. The rest gives the wrists a place to sit so the hands are not hovering.
It does not guide individual keys and it does not make a key easier to hold down. It only keeps the board where it is.
How it fits:
Full Size MX Keys only, the low keyboard about 430mm wide.
The Clamp file fits a 50mm desk.
The keyboard drops in from above. Take it back out the same way. The Clamp stays on the desk.
What to Print:
1x mxkeys_dummy - Left.stl - 181 x 216 x 14mm
1x mxkeys_dummy - Right.stl - 188 x 216 x 14mm
1x mxkeys_dummy - Btm-Mid.stl - 120 x 100 x 14mm
1x mxkeys_dummy - Top-Mid.stl - 105 x 9 x 14mm
2x mxkeys_dummy - 50mm Table Clamp.stl - 15 x 78 x 59mm
Left and Right needs a bed of at least 220 x 190mm
Print Settings:
Any stiff material that you have on hand will work (anything that's not a flexible material like TPU)
Any 0.4/ 0.6mm nozzle, with 0.1 - 0.5mm layer heights
Body pieces: lay them flat, large face down. 4 perimeters, 15% gyroid infill. No supports. A brim helps the thin Top-Mid stay stuck.
Clamps: PETG is the better choice here. A clamp stays loaded, and PLA can slowly bend. Lay each clamp on its side so the C-shape is drawn flat in every layer. 6 perimeters, 40% infill. No supports in that orientation.
Assembly:
On a flat table, seat Top-Mid into the back of Left and Right.
Seat Btm-Mid, the wrist rest, into the front.
Press the dovetails closed. No glue.
Slide one clamp into each cutout on the front edge.
Hook both clamps over the front of the desk.
Drop the MX Keys into the tray.
