This is a hand-wired board I made, nicknamed Agony. It's a split space version of the Pain27. I'm typing on it right now :)

I put together a summary of the keymap I run:

I use the same keymap on all my boards, 40s to 65s, and because there are multiple options to accomplish the same kinds of tasks (like triggering mods), it scales up and down to any layout I use.

On a board this small, you need shortcuts. You also need multiple options to do things like triggering mod keys:

  • O+P combo for Backspace.
  • A+S combo for Tab.
  • S+D and J+K combos for Escape.
  • Hold down Q for Ctrl.
  • Hold down K+L combo for Ctrl.

And more. Check out the image linked above and zoom in to check out all the options.

Having backspace as a combo is interesting, it'd certainly force me to make less mistakes when typing. Probably

So as I’m picturing this layout in my head, O + P is a pretty close placement to where a backspace would be on a 60
