HillSideView | A modified Hillside 46 with nice!view, large battery, 3dp case and cirque support - Lemmy.World

While looking for my first ergo mech keyboard, I wanted something small with choc switches (and spacing), splay and wireless support. The Hillside 46 looked really nice but I wanted to make some changes to it including support for the nice!view, a large battery and the cirque trackpad. That prompted creating a fork of the Hillside 46 called the HillSideView (HSV). The main features that the HSV adds over the Hillside 46 are: - nice!view e-paper display for better battery life - Cleaner outer pinky column cut-off - Support for a cirque trackpad with an FFC connector on the PCB itself - Case design with support for large 750-3000 mAh batteries under the PCB - Magnetic tenting stand with the case - Under PCB mount for the MCU for a cleaner top display mounting The repo for the board design is here [https://github.com/wannabecoffeenerd/HillSideView/]. Here’s the BOM [https://github.com/wannabecoffeenerd/HillSideView/#bill-of-materials-bom] me and some friends used for a GB and here’s a short build guide Some links: - Repo [https://github.com/wannabecoffeenerd/HillSideView/] - BOM [https://github.com/wannabecoffeenerd/HillSideView/#bill-of-materials-bom] - Short build guide [https://github.com/wannabecoffeenerd/HillSideView/wiki] - ZMK keymap [https://github.com/wannabecoffeenerd/zmk-config] More images here: https://imgur.com/a/YDMosnA [https://imgur.com/a/YDMosnA]

I apologize for being uninitiated, but what is this (I assume) keyboard used for? The orientation appears to be for a specific application?
Oh sorry, that’s my bad. This is a split ergo keyboard that can be used for anything really. I use it for regular typing, programming and gaming. The picture here only shows the right half of the keyboard. The imgur link has another photo of both halves that should hopefully clarify things a bit more.
Thanks for the explanation, keep rocking on 🤘
