PK-S
The PK-S by Protieusz is a modded ScottoFly with trackpad – inspired by Daraku-Neko's Ieneko42C.

Inspired by Daraku-Neko's Ieneko42C, Protieusz modded Joe Scotto's ScottoFly and got a nice monoblock split with trackpad: the PK-S. ("S" stands for small here, referring to the small trackpad, but there's also a PK-XL in the making.)
Originally I wanted something like Darakuneko's Ieneko42c but with slightly less keys. So I modified the handwired ScottoFly to something similar to Ieneko42C with an Azoteq 43mm trackpad. I have a PCB version designed from a while back with Cirque trackpad but due to budget I have not have it printed – Protieusz.
The two extra thumb keys near the trackpad act as left and right click even though the Azoteq supports gestures. The idea came from the Ieneko42c that has the same trackpad, and the source code for the trackpad was borrowed from that project as well.
The case is green resin and the switch plate is regular PLA printed.

The untested PCB version is in the repo, but use it at your own risk!
- Github fork
- You may find the Azoteq 43mm trackpad at mouser.com. I can't link it because the site sucks. For EU folks it's also available at keycapsss.
