I've been doing a similar thing for a while now, but I have a 36-key board. I take a slightly different approach to the one in this article, namely I just have the space key on the left thumb cluster to raise to a layer with the numbers on the home-row keys, and then I have the Shift+Number combinations that you would have on a normal keyboard. I mainly do this so that I'm not completely at sea when typing on a regular board, though one of the great advantages of a 36-keyer (and mine uses low profile laptop switches) is that you can just put it in your pocket and take it around with you. You can cover all of the standard typing symbols in just two layers which are nicely similar to that of a regular keyboard (and if you use Vim keys, that's all you need).
