From the project
Family of split ergonomic keyboards with three rows of six or five keys and a generous thumb arc
Hillside 52 is a split ergonomic keyboard with 3x6+3+5 choc-spaced keys. It has the aggressive stagger of the Ferris plus finger splay, three bottom utility keys or a physical arrow T, a longer thumb arc and break-off outer pinkie columns.
The arrow cluster provides a more familiar keymap for users new to small keyboards and utility keys for more seasoned users. The finger splay more naturally follows our hand's mechanics. See the Hillside family readme for features common to all hillside boards. Specific to the Hillside 52 are:
