# Dactyl Tracer
![DactylTracer](https://i.imgur.com/ReCBppEh.jpeg)
The Dactyl Tracer is a handwired, split bodied, concave key-well, columnar keyboard. Case design is similar to the [Dactyl CC](/keyboards/handwired/dactyl_cc) though overall design is closer to the [Dactyl ManuForm](/keyboards/handwired/dactyl_manuform/). The `Q` and `P` keys are vertically offset, from `A` and `;` keys respectively, to allow for easier actuation by third/ring finger.

## Bootloader
Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
* **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if it is available
