Reply to comment by NoOne-NBA- in Layout Idea in Progress - Seeking Feedback by thatguyrenic

that looks awesome. this idea started with the idea of extending the numbad and flipping it for symmetry... leaving the nav cluster in the center.... but it keeps evolving... not sure if getting better or worse :)

You could do something really close to that layout with an XD75.

I designed my layout specifically for me, for use in my work environment.

It is designed to be as efficient as possible in that environment.
Minimum hand movements were the primary goal, and keeping everything as true to a standard staggered board as possible was the secondary goal.
I wanted to minimize the amount of movement necessary, while maintaining my 40+ years of muscle memory.

With the layers I have, I can switch between the right hand alphas, arrow keys (on IJKL, with nav cluster keys surrounding those arrows), and numpad, on the fly, without moving my hands from the home position.
