If you have a keyboard that runs QMK firmware[0] with the VIA[1] feature enabled[2], then there is a convenient testing app available from the same place you customize your keys [3].

I made a layout that I'm happy with. Spanish is my native language, so it has characters like the accents and 'ñ', but it's meant to be used for programming as well. Visual Studio uses a lot of Ctrl and Ctrl + Shift shortcuts, so I left them in the same place as the default Corne layout so I can press them both with my pinkie finger. Perhaps some of the ideas are useful to you.

Also, it would be possible to do this for the RP2040. However, it needs some work to get working. but for example: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/20999

Ok, it's an ST7735, not too different from the ST7789. You should be able to get running by looking at their files in the QMK repo and going from there. You should also check their resources page.

UPDATE: after fluffing around a little bit, I have manged to fix this code: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/lily58/keymaps/bongocat_wpm_responsive/keymap.c and flash it successfully - it seems not to be working correctly as the cat is only hanging there and does not respond to the wmp count. If anybody spots anything wrong in the code please let me know!(C is not my language but I am a programmer, I am gonna get at it again over the weekend if I have time left)

For Seniply I've found this implementation for a_dux keyboard: QMK

The tool is built in an unusual fashion - the images are in an adobe Illustrator file, and then exported as pngs for the separate layers. I suspect you can open the source files in AI and pull out the vectors your after. Here's the repo: https://github.com/jhelvy/splitKbCompare

I used a Kinesis Advantage as my main keyboard for 10 years. A few years ago I got an Ergodox EZ, but just couldn't get into it. I've been using a NiZ Atom68 as my main keyboard for over a year now and am rather happy with it. I have plans to build and try

These days I think that there are so many good community designed keyboards [0] that it behooves anyone who has the notion they'd like something better than a standard layout keyboard to do a bit of research and testing. For any keyboard layout it is fairly trivial to make a printout and stick it to your desk to get an impression of how it fits your hand size/shape and your preferred resting/neutral position.

Recently I've found Ben Vallack [1] to be an excellent resource on keyboard customization and his philosophy echoes my own, though he shows much more dedication to the craft and exploration of keyboarding than I could ever hope or wish to. He has an excellent series on designing and making your own keyboard [2], as well as well thought out explanations and explorations of creating and learning personalized keyboard layouts [3][4]. His more general explorations of usability in computing and beyond have been inspiring as well [5].

Try some split layouts on paper to get an idea https://github.com/jhelvy/splitKbCompare

alright, i've informed jhelvy (via github issue) about my plan to move his useful tool to a wiki entry. so let us wait for some days before someone make the thread about keymap and stuff.

The keyboard will also be added to the split keyboard layout comparison site. It's been added in the queue.

Hi again, just wanted to update you that I've opened and issue to add Manibus to the splitKbComparison website: https://github.com/jhelvy/splitKbCompare/issues/60
