Cut Slope
Quirk shared the design files of his Cut Slope, an orthoish unibody split with splayed outer column.
Published August 23, 2023
The Cut Slope by Jason Hazel aka quirk is a nice monoblock split with orthoish halves at a comfortable fixed angle, but with the outer columns splayed – we don't see something like this very often. Oh, and there's also a big-ass display in the middle.
A couple months ago I designed my first integrated RP2040 board – Cut Slope. I posted pictures on lemmy during the subreddit hiatus, so some of you may have seen it already. Since r/emk is back, I'm celebrating by releasing the source code – quirk.
Specs
- 36 keys (6x3+3), Choc-spaced, hotswap
- Ortho-ish with dropped/splayed pinkies and fanned thumbs
- Integrated RP2040.
- Big-ass full color 240x320 screen support
- QMK / ZMK (wired only, no display)
Resources
I've also got a few of the prototypes left for purchase if you're interested in picking up one without getting a bunch fabricated – quirk.
