Hillside is a split ergonomic keyboard with 3x6+4+2 choc-spaced keys – designed by mmccoyd. It has the aggressive stagger of the Ferris but a longer thumb arc and a break-off outer pinky column.

So rather like a choc Kyria, minus two keys.

With 42 to 48 keys it isn't minimalist, but it is compact on finger travel while still allowing roomy keymaps.
