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!
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! https://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: https://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.
I printed different layouts to scale to figure out which one might work best for me
These look great! Gonna try replacing my Chicago stenos with these sculpted caps
Yeah, both valid points. I was asking about the firmware supporting an esp32 specifically for the wireless capabilities. And on terms of battery life, I went overboard and installed 3000mAh batteries in my keyboard that I can use to power the display 😂
Oh neat! QMK seems to be the most appropriate for trackpads. I was thinking of something that could be wireless which afaik QMK doesn’t support. And ZMK’s support for pointer devices is not great just yet.
This is super cool! Is the firmware flexible enough to support a similar ESP32 based chip? Something like this. That’ll then allow you to make the touchpad wireless over BLE and just stick it on any keyboard as long as you have a way to power it.
Can I take you up on that offer? :) I already have a board with a 12 pin fpc connector for the cirque trackpad but I suppose it mainly needs one level of redirection to support the VIK standard?
Swapping out the pump should be relatively straightforward. One thing you might consider when buying a new pump is getting the brass version (Ulka EX5) that many have said reduces noise. There’s also a higher wattage version (52W instead of 41W) of the same pump that has higher water debit and can give you more flexibility which is the one I got for my machine (Ulka EAX5)
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
