Wanted to take photos at some more representative place, but it will have to do as I am clearly too lazy .
5mm plywood, oiled.
As cam be seen, the oil dissipates quickly from these. Areas that are touched lost a lot of saturation over the two months of usage, as can be seen especially on the left half.
I have made a couple spare, and may make some more in future. I doubt actual profitability, so this is probably going to remain a hobby/experiment initiative.
Given feedback about palm rests of uhk80 being too short, I have also designed a larger version, so that is available too.
Anyone who wants a standard size walnut is advised to wait, as an official product is planned and is likely to be superior in quality.
Those look so good!
(I’d be all over 'em if recent political nonsense hadn’t destroyed my finances for the next few months.)
Have you tried the longer version with a riser? I thought about longer palm rests, but I think I’d probably also need to extend the base to keep it stable. Not sure how to go about that yet.
Based on a quick test, I don’t think there are going to be stability issues. I am more afraid of how to keep the palm rest in place when force is applied at the edge - I assume it to be attached with a double sided tape, which has its limits.
I can’t easily test it properly, as I have all my keyboards modified in a way that makes them incompatible .
