This is really cool and I love the idea of routing the 50cm channel for sound. Would love to see how your layout ends up mapping onto this.
What's the purpose of the little holes in the keycaps? Just aesthetics?
Hexagons are the bestagons
The little holes are for the LEDs to shine through because I wasn't sure how opaque the 3D printed material would be. Turns out that the holes are probably not needed.
My layout for v0.2 is here (I'm using the Colemak version): https://github.com/fxkuehl/qmk_firmware/blob/mantis-v0.2/keyboards/mantis/keymaps/default/keymap.c
This looks really cool! Very interesting design
Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
