I am continually baffled by how keyboard enthusiasts almost never use optimized layouts. If you care this much about typing, surely the first thing you do is get an ergo layout and then use an optimized layout such as Colemak or any of the myriad modern layout options available today. I personally use graphite (github.com/rdavison/graphite-layout), or rather, a mod of it that has an AI generated symbol layer. The Qwerty layout is really bad, people! How can you spend this much time and energy and money on keyboards, and keep using the awful Qwerty layout? EDIT: Jokes aside, truly I wonder, for the column stagger folks who use qwerty, how do you deal with the “in” bigram? It’s one of the most common bigrams in English, and a column stagger layout usually _increases_ that distance, ie, it’s actually less ergonomic.
