A Guide to Weird Keyboards

In this pilot video for my channel, I explain small, column-stagger, split keyboards. This video explains the reasoning behind the seemingly strange form-factor of split keyboards, and how we can take a full-size keyboard and fit it in a much smaller keyboard by using layers. Let’s break it down: - Take a full-size keyboard. - Remove the numpad (and get a TKL). - Make everything more compact (and get a 75%). - Put less used keys on a layer* (and get a 65%). - Put keys away from home row on a layer (and get a 40%). - Stop fingers from moving sideways (and get an Ortholinear keyboard). - Allow typing with hands at shoulder width by splitting the keyboard. - Account for different finger lengths by moving the columns around (and get a column-stagger keyboard). Hopefully these strange-looking keyboards make more sense now!
