HillSideView | A modified Hillside 46 with nice!view, large battery, 3dp case and cirque support in c/ergomechkeyboards

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!

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

Introducing FAK - A keyboard firmware for the CH55x series in c/ergomechkeyboards
[–] shaysub 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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?

3D printed Ergo kb parts: SLA vs. FDM? in c/ergomechkeyboards

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 😂

Odyssey Espresso Argos (lemmy.world)
 

Got my Argos today and it looks and feels so much better than I expected. It's super tiny, beautifully designed and setting it up was very easy. Filled it up with 40GH/40KH water and it got to temp within 5 mins or so. Flushed for a bit to clean out the water path. Pulled a shot with some washed Ethiopian beans 18:40 and it tasted really nice and soft, lots of nice lemon acidity, very nice floral notes and some white sugar sweetness. This was in spring config with the 6 bar spring. Also got the analog pressure gauge and digital transducer. Need to install those and play with the app over the next few days.
