  • miryoku

    Miryoku is an ergonomic, minimal, orthogonal, and universal keyboard layout.

  • benign-key-logger

    A simple, transparent, open-source key logger, written in Python, for tracking your own key-usage statistics.

  • I have not used this, but I understand benign-key-logger[1] was made for this use case.

  • Sweep

    Sweep - a small promicro based keyboard inspired by the Ferris. (by davidphilipbarr)

  • Adjacent: https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep

    Sweep is a 34-key split PCB design that you can print and assemble yourself.

    Happy user for over 3 years.

  • qmk_firmware

    Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families

  • I agree that reduced finger movement is a crucial step in achieving typing efficiency. This is nicely solved by mod tap modifiers in QMK/ZMK[1] where key acts as a char when tapped and as a layer while pressed.

  • InputScope

    Mouse and keyboard input heatmap visualizer, with statistics.

  • if you run QMK & have a Teensy board; https://precondition.github.io/qmk-heatmap

    if you don't, https://github.com/suurjaak/InputScope ... you can even track keypresses per app!
