I took my usual 40 percent layout and heavily used the Miryoku layout as an inspiration to port it to 36 keys. Definitely took a bit of trial and error until I reached a point where it felt good, but I found the Miryoku layout to be a great starting point.

This is why I just straight up ditched the middle keys. Biggest change for me right now is definitely backspacing with my thumb. I kinda like it, but my pinky still reaches into thin air now and then.

I was sceptical of home row mods before. I tried them before but I could not wrap my head around how I ever would be able to use them without accidental triggers. Turned out I had my QMK settings wrong. Once I fixed that it clicked. I'm not entirely sure if this is a layout I will stick with in the long run - but home row shift is a game changer I will definitely continue using.

Yes! I used an Alice keyboard for a while. Feels very similar now in terms of hand spacing. It also enabled me to have 3 key thumb clusters on both sides without having to weirdly tuck my thumbs in.

I was using a 40 for a few months exclusively already. I had this old planck laying around that I wanted to freshen up to use as my office keyboard. That lead me down a rabbit hole of experimenting with different layouts and this is what I ended up with. A split 36 key layout. I even managed to fit practical gaming layers to play FPS games with. Well, onto daily driving this thing until it either drives me insane or wrecks normal keyboards for me forever.
Drop planck acryllic, running Vial, Domikey WoB, Boba U4s.

What is up with all of these AVAs all of a sudden? Is there a sale or something? I'm not complaining though, they are all beauts. Yours too.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing! This sounds very much like the DIY version of NKs new Cream+ switches with the inserts.

He also lubes one switch and has "100-odd more to go"... For a 75 percent.

I use Colemak. Nonetheless I prefer gaming in Qwerty - not because I dislike rebinding keys, but because I noticed that I use Colemak on muscle memory only (if that description makes sense to you). If the game tells me to "Press F" I'd be confused what key to press on Colemak. It's really weird.
