> Also, I don't think it really matters whether personally one uses a key X or not. In my experience, you can never have enough keys! And you will find an application eventually – provided the key is in the right place ergonomically speaking, i.e. easy to reach. I do own a ErgoDox and UHK and like them. I use them with my custom layout. However I also agree with you fully, that you cannot have enough keys and I miss all the keys a standard layout offers. I think needing many keys, and changing a layout to not need to move your hands so much are two different problems. What is better, having to move your hand to difficult to reach keys, for functions that you only need occasionally, or having to remember how to navigate to the right, rarely used layer? I think the former. You can still change the layout to have the frequently used keys close to your finger, but if you don't need so many layers to allow the keyboard to work in all kinds of applications, that is a win for me. I don't really like the highly application specific layouts you get with keyboards, that are missing keys compared to the standard layout.
