Split ergonomic keyboard with three rows of five or six keys, aggressive column stagger, a generous thumb arc, wireless friendly display and a 3dp case to house a large battery and support tenting ...

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
