From the project
Family of split ergonomic keyboards with three rows of six or five keys and a generous thumb arc
Hillside 48 is a split ergonomic keyboard with 3x6+1+5 choc-spaced keys. It has the aggressive stagger of the Ferris plus a longer thumb arc and break-off outer pinkie columns.
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. See the Hillside family readme for features common to all hillside boards. Specific to the Hillside 48 are:
