I think having a split keyboard so my mouse can be in the middle would really help my comfort at the desk. Is there a style that doubles up the middle keys? My typing style means sometimes I use my right hand to hit T, left to hit Y, etc....
Stop whining. They’re trying to help give you training wheels. They’re responding with their experience, and you’re being hypercritical about semantics.
If you go to a medical expert complaining about pain, do you get offended when they tell you how to fix it? And for the natural response “they aren’t doctors”, well (a) they may be and (b) if you really want the level of help you’d expect from a medical professional, perhaps don’t ask the internet.
Just wanted to share the link to the livestream of the designer Matt3o looking at the first batch of the MTNU keycaps. They are made by GMK out of PBT, with double shot legends. The profile has been developed by Matt3o and GMK as a Cherry-height spherical angle shape. First batch is currently shipping out and has the WoB, Beige...
I use Colemak DH with a numpad and nav layer (there’s a media layer, but it doesn’t see regular use) and Callum-style mods for my layout. I code in python, rust, typescript, sql, latex (and other documentation formats).
34-keys is my sweet spot. My daily is typically a charybdis (home) or sweep (office), and I switch between a totem, zaphod, and 34-key planck periodically.
The key to my layout is callum mods on the left hand layers, with command modifiers underneath (i.e., zxcdv) and alt f and b above. W and Q positions are transparent.
The nav layer is on the right hand, with about what you’d expect (arrows on home row).
The numpad is also on the right hand, and I use the num row keys instead of the numpad, so I get all of my symbols there, too. Various brackets are combos on the num layer (in QMK; all layers in ZMK).
I also have combos for (semi-)colon, tab, capsword, and underscore. And the media layer.
I ordered this on a whim and got a cheap set of keycaps off Amazon for it, but now that I have it put together (plastic switch plate, tape modded, gateron cap golden yellows, double o-ringed keycaps) it is sounding and feeling really good. The keycaps were a cheap but they are bright and fun. I might make it my “throw in a bag...
tldr: 1 half of my split keyboard types certain characters on its own without any input, the same characters don’t work on actual key press after I bridged the oled jumper terminals with solder....

Keyboard recommendations for programmers?
So I switched to a low-profile angled keyboard basically identical to this: www.amazon.com.au/…/ref=asc_df_B08KJ8JW9Q/?tag=go…...

Gotta love the packaging from MKUltra
