rae-dux VS PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles

The word I think you're looking for is splay. I haven't seen it done any keywell boards but it's on a few different flat boards like the rae dux. https://github.com/andrewjrae/rae-dux

rae-dux https://github.com/andrewjrae/rae-dux

The layout in the thumbnail is very close to one I just built (not my design), Rae-dux, if you want to save yourself a bunch of time.

2x rae-dux halves (see https://github.com/andrewjrae/rae-dux), more pics available here. $15 AUD for both.

Allow me to indroduce the Owl, yet another 5x3 + 3 keyboard ! This is a modified version of the rae-dux, the layout being the same, except with MX spacing. As for the rae-dux, it is wireless only.

So, purely out of my own needs, and since the Sweep doesn't quite cover that, I'd love a 3W6 or a Roost. Or even a Rae-dux.

There is samoklava and rae-dux, and you can look through the layouts listed in this comparison tool for more. As for ones with a trackball, the Charybdis and its nano variant come to mind.

The spacing is minimal while not cutting stuff off the switches. The caps are a scuffed 3d print of the Philadelphia Minimalists, but Pseudoku's design is so good they still feel great.

I have 3d printed them from jlcpcb with mfj. Actually black mfj looks better. https://github.com/pseudoku/PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles Also you can buy handmade ones from https://www.asymplex.xyz/category/des

Sorry but what exactly did you made here? I would asume you took the DES keycaps files from Pseudoku and get them printed somewhere?

Pseudoku has a wip profile [Philadelphia minimalist)[https://github.com/pseudoku/PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles] which is minimum x/y spacing for choc switches. You may be able to mod the scad file to create min x /normal y on these or perhaps Chicago steno profile from the same repo

The Keycaps are DES from https://www.asymplex.xyz/product/des-alpha-sets They are also open source here: https://github.com/pseudoku/PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles My favourite keycap profile. The ordered version feels amazing. The ones in the picture are 3D printed in MJF natural grey

- Key caps are XDA, except thumb keys which are custom designs that I 3d printed for max comfort (my models are on the github, but I think they were originally remixed from [here](https://github.com/pseudoku/PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles))

Convex DES keys are pretty nice - you can print your own from Pesu's github files https://github.com/pseudoku/PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles (resin prints will be the nicest outcome, keep in mind the stems will get brittle over time as they cure and you may end up breaking them if you remove them frequently)
