I think having a split keyboard so my mouse can be in the middle would really help my comfort at the desk. Is there a style that doubles up the middle keys? My typing style means sometimes I use my right hand to hit T, left to hit Y, etc.
Is this a style already, or would I need to build my own?
I am completely new to this domain and would appreciate advice from knowledgeable enthusiasts.
There are a lot, I don’t know if there’s a central one. Keeb.io might be a good starting point, just to see what’s out there and familiarize yourself with some price points of different kits.
The common solution for not having enough keys is using layers. For example, I built a split Redox that has room for MOST of the keys that I need, with the exception of the function row up top. So, I set up a layer that activates when I hold my “Fn” key. Fn+1 is the same as hitting the F1 key, Fn+2 is F2, etc.
That’s a very simple example, layers can get VERY complex.
