Dilemma Keyboards
A compact keyboard with a trackpad made for travel, ran by the powerful RP2040 chip.
Engineered to be a full mouse replacement solution with high-quality, custom-developed components.
We provide regular updates to the firmware, and all kits and prebuilts are guaranteed 2 years. The Dilemma comes with rotary encoder and per-key RGB options, and either 56 or 36 keys.
What you get
Every keyboard comes with the latest version of our custom-developed hardware and high-quality components.
All hardware is open-sourced and available on Github.
Switches of choice
For assembled keyboards, we have the great Outemu Silent Yellow (tactile) and Gateron Yellows (linear) in stock, as well as a variety of Choc switches. You can also choose your own switches if you prefer something else.
If you get a kit, you will need to order your own switches.
2 year warranty
We handcraft each keyboard from our atelier in Dordrecht, The Netherlands. They come with a 2 year warranty on parts.
High QA
On top of a rigorous build process, we check each keyboard at different times during the build to ensure the best quality possible.
The keyboards also come with spare parts (screws, switches etc).
Support your local artists
We work full time on keyboard design, and every order helps us put out more open-source projects. Thank you so much !
Feature-full firmware
All keyboards come with a default QMK firmware full of features. From dragscroll to miryoku, with rgb options and DPI.
It is regularly updated with new features and improvements.
Â
Highly ergonomic
Our designs are based on the Dactyl Manuform, which is a tried-and-true ergonomic layout.
High quality 3d printed parts
Industry-defining quality, with everything tuned from the custom 3d model to the settings used on the printer.
What you will need
Those parts are not included in the kits, and you will need to source them yourself.
USB-C cable
Use it to connect the right side of the keyboard to the computer.
Make sure to use a high-quality usb cable, with the other side either USB-A or USB-C (eg. if you use a laptop with USB-C ports).
Audio cable
You will need it to connect both sides together (both TRS and TRRS work).
Our keyboards are compatible with all standard audio cables, including the fancy custom ones.
Keycaps
Reuse your favourite keycaps, or grab a new set (We recommend searching for “ortho” sets).
As for keycap profile, the keyboards will work with all following profiles:
DSA, XDA, SA, MT3, DES.
MT3 has been popular lately and is a favourite of ours.
Switches (for Kits)
If you get a Kit, you will need to source your own switches.
Our Dilemma keyboards are compatible with MX-format and Choc V1 switches. This includes brands like Boba, Kailh, Zealios, Cherry etc.
They are not compatible with MX low profile and Choc V2.
You will need to source your own switches, if you are not sure multiple shops offer switch testers.
