+# Dactyl Lightcycle
+
+![TopElev](https://i.imgur.com/MwPhTrCh.jpg)
+
+A handwired, split bodied, concave key-well, columnar keyboard.
+The *Dactyl Lightcycle* is a variation of the [Dactyl](/keyboards/handwired/dactyl/) keyboard, its differences are:
+1. Top (number) row removed
+2. Five key thumb cluster; one less than the *Dactyl's* six
+
+This modernised rendition of the *Dactyl Lightcycle* requires two Pro Micro controllers, rather than the *Dactyl's* original implementation of a micro controller and I/O expander.
+
+* Keyboard Maintainer: [Matt Adereth](https://github.com/adereth/)
+* Hardware Supported: 2x Pro Micro micro controller, or clone of
+* Hardware Availability: Case files available on [GitHub](https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard), file names beginning "lightcycle" apply
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+ make handwired/dactyl_lightcycle:default
+
+Flashing example for this keyboard:
+
+ make handwired/dactyl_lightcycle:default:flash
+

+## 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 keymap**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if it is available
