Looking for a ZMK/QMK macropad with three keys or fewer for palmability

[rich gale]

Background:
I really like having palmable keys (keys I can press with the meat of my palm below my pinky finger).

Few builds include these, so I would like to extend an existing corne layout by adding a small macropad that has keys I can press with my palm.

I'm looking for a small macropad i could use for this purpose. I have only been able to find larher macropads.
I have atached an image of the kind of thing I have in mind.

Also, if anyone knows of any sub-communities that are in palmable keys, I'd love to hear about them.

Any insight greatly appreciated!

rotary encoders on a corne could effectively give you one for each hand. (splitkb’s aurora corne supports this, for example)

i guess that is more the meat below index or middle finger though, even on the tuckiest position.

That’s an interesting idea.

I guess the downside would be that one would have to trade in a thumb key for the rotary encoder.

I would love to find a solution that still allowed be to have three thumb keys per thumb in addition to one or two palmable keys per hand

Nonetheless, thank you for that thought!

something like the kyria has even tuckier encoders (and more thumb keys): https://splitkb.com/collections/keyboard-kits/products/kyria-rev3-pcb-kit

Hm yes, maybe something like that could work.

Looking at the layout, I might even be able to palm the bottom two outermost keys.

Absolutely ungodly. I love it.

I've got one printed, but not sure when I'll get around to building...

I guess choc switches will fit well enough, but it was designed for MX.

oh, nice. i like the look of the keys flush with surface better, myself.
