That splay is what makes those pinky keys actually usable for me. It helped a lot to print the layout to see test for comfort
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.
That’s one of the things that’s great about the Hillside 46. Proper choc spacing means less finger movement!

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]

Got it, I was mostly curious if fak would/could be extended to the CH582.

I assumed that QMK would be wired, but looking through the repo, seems like it does support wireless as well! github.com/O-H-M2/qmk_port_ch582

This is so cool! Couldn’t find it on the GitHub page, but does this firmware also support wireless or maybe can be extended for that?
It isn’t fuzzy skin as set in the slicer, but it is texture imparted on the switch plate by using a textured PEI build plate.
This is actually my fork of the Hillside with enough PCB changes that the case won’t directly work with the original hillside unfortunately. Here’s my repo: github.com/wannabecoffeenerd/hillside

No post processing on any of this. The case and plate were just with my standard printer settings, nothing special. For the keycaps, I printed them at an 80° angle so the stems would be stronger and used organic supports. 0.1mm layer height and oriented so the layer lines are along the finger travel direction so you don’t notice the layer lines in use very much
For my board, I printed keycaps, plate and case all with FDM in PLA.
