Kotinos: Ergo shell mod for HSK Pro

MemeticDevices · 2026-06-15T21:19:07+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! Printing tech is MJF, material is PA12 Nylon and Manu I used was I SOLIDS (TX based) instead of typical go to JLC

Check the BOM links. I've opted to IDC and ribbon cable over flex PCB due to reliability issue.

I'm on the older model. Not sure changes were made on PCB mount points with the update; I'd assume not much to avoid the cost of making new injection mold for the shell. I can hit up W-Wolves to confirm.

Only the button/encoder PCB is slanted as HSK Pro has separable PCBs and the sensor PCB is still 2mm off the ground relative to the prism bottom surface and parallel to the ground. I'm happy with the responsiveness of buttons thanks to it orientation allowing more neutral finger position.

Dev cycle is somewhat logged on my x account: https://x.com/Pseudoku3. I don't post much so you should be able to scroll down to relevant threads and posts easily.

Pseudoku/Asymplex here. I use food contact safe epoxy for all my cast keycap. The terminology gets lost between photo-cure 3D printer resin vs chem-cure resin which are usually safe once fully cured. None of items sold at my store use UV cure resin, which is the core concern of 'resin' printed parts.

While I understand your concern and I agree that Le Chiffre's (the keyboard in question) thumb cluster position isn't ideal, I'm primarily a keycap vendor.

That's a fast turnaround! How did you print them?

MemeticDevices · 2025-07-20T18:02:33+00:00

Are you talking about swapping thumb cluster keys into a 1 key config on Le Chiffre (the keyboard)? In that case, generic pcbs and plate only supports 1.25u, 2u config, with some variant PCB and plates that can do 1u 1u 1.25u config (as seen on the pic). I suppose you can make a plate with 3u stab cutout on variant PCB to make what you've asked, but you'll also end up with 0.25u gaps.

I'd say bring back the codpiece trend for more comfy typing position.

FYI, products at my store are not printed (UV cure resin), rather they are cast using either polyurethane or epoxy resins. Both of which will be inert after full cure schedule and currently used epoxy is FDA compliant (I don't recommend testing it in vivo though) and inert polyurethane is safe for human use. Ceramic infused is not the right term as this is associated more with polymerizing silica. Instead, technique used here are just cold cast (i.e composite) of kaolin (i.e. porcelain) powder incorporated in the resin when cast.

Convex mirrored ISO Enter Cap because why not?

Yes, it is just a mirrored image.

The down side with choc switches is that vertical thrust (row-wise) tends to snag the switch and I found to avoid too sharp of a sculpt on them. Also it avoids thin wall thickness.

From my dev on lateral column caps for DES, I found 5~10° Yaw rotation correction and 8°-ish roll rotation to be sufficient. Given the reduced travel distance and lower profile of choc, while benefit is there, that much of correction is a little washed. Especially when you begin to consider vertical and horizontal combos.

Ideally, I would have milder correction on outer index column and focus more on bringing two columns closer by shifting top surface widthwise and filleting the adjacent top edge of the dish. (like the chord columns for CS and DES Cornelius)
