Review: Glove80 Ergonomic Keyboard
Just to add a bit of data to the ergonomics claims (of which I find many people are skeptical):
https://workmanlayout.org/#tests-using-popular-books
Now, this is a site extolling the virtues of yet another layout, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt, but the methodology seems sound to me. (Though I used Workman in the past, I've since moved to Colemak due to a combination of it being built-in to Apple OSs and my dislike of the "ly" digram being on the same finger in Workman, plus some other factors.)
Even though Dvorak is the "least efficient" of the three QWERTY alternatives measured, it's still over a 40% reduction in finger travel distance compared to QWERTY. "Distance traveled" is obviously not the sole factor in ergonomics, but it's equally obviously a big one.

Keyboard Layout Is Broken
Workman [0] was designed to be used on an ortho keyboard, though it is also usable on a normal keyboard. I suppose it's tricky to design for many modern features as they are not yet standardised between keyboards.

Is switching keyboard layout worth it?
Just take a look at the test results that the author of workman keyboard layout made: https://workmanlayout.org/

Devil Mode for Emacs
You might also find https://web.archive.org/web/20130512065149/http://www.andong... interesting. The theory is that since you only ever have a space after a comma, you can use it as a dead key, and just have ", " output ", ". That then frees all the other letter combos to be whatever key you want.
There are other keyboard layouts out there with the same concept too: https://github.com/workman-layout/Workman/tree/master/mac#wo...

Thought I'd share this incase anyone was wondering what the Keychron Q10 and Q0 look like with Cherry Profile keycaps like I was a month ago.
The layout used is Workman US (programmer variant).

Ask HN: What can I do about my declining typing ability as I age?
In my experience it does become harder to type on staggered keyboards unless you're continuing to do it regularly. You may need to relearn to do that. Same deal with continuing QWERTY usage.
VIA is proprietary and not really an official QMK thing (QMK is free software). There is also Vial[0] which is free software if you want a GUI, and the QMK configurator[1] web app (but this lacks some features like enabling mouse keys or NKRO).
Lastly I want to add that Workman[2] may be preferable to Colemak Mod-DH. Rather than an attempt to fix major issues in Colemak like Mod-DH, it's a whole new layout that avoided the issues from the start. I have also heard from some that it had ortholinear and columnar stagger boards in mind with its design.
I type on a Pinky4[3] keyboard that I assembled from a kit. More keys than your keyboard, but a similar idea. I was coming from a 60% and wanted a similar amount of keys. I've been quite happy with it.

Dygma raise to overcome tendinitis ?
I was checking miryoku to use it when I get the Defy, or at least try it. But I don't quite get the part of "workman as alphas". I saw workman, but which ones are the alphas? The numbers?
- what is the best way to lay out the keyboard keys?

[EU-PL][H] Keyboardio model 100, travel case, stand kit, blank keycaps set [W] PayPal
The price for everything is 290 USD (or 265 EUR) + shipping cost. It is about 100 less than currently listed on keyboard.io (when buying with a stand kit and blank keycaps set) and the shipping cost will also be significantly lower (it is over 50 USD to Europe currently considering taxes and customs).

TPMouse - A virtual trackball for Windows
Cool! I think I can follow the code now. I'm working with the Kaleidoscope developers to try to make your work a plugin for their ecosystem (github issue) since it works so well (as long as that's OK with you?). I really like TPMouse, but I split my time 50/50 between Windows and Linux. For now I'm going to see if I can port the core of your code to C++. I frankly don't understand most of the supporting code, but I'm confident in my ability to do numerical computing lol.

keyboard for wrist pain?
It’s not really what most people think of as “affordable” but the Model 100 by keyboard.io is an amazing, comfortable, very flexible keyboard. And thanks to the Model 100 finally coming out you can find the previous version (the Model 01) for a lot less, although the switches on the Model 01 tend to fail fairly easily so I can only really recommend that if you’re good at soldering (the Model 100 uses much better switches which are also much easier to replace).
