  • Latin-Dvorak

    Variant of the Programmer Dvorak keyboard layout with addictional accents and letters for Italian, French and Spanish. Greek letters for computer science are included, too.

  • I sometimes use http://programmer-dvorak.appspot.com/ to practice. The ergonomics of accentuation is inconvenient, but this probably solves the problem: https://github.com/N0rthw1nd/Latin-Dvorak

  • nek-type-a

    Natural Ergonomic Keyboard Type A

  • There's the Cloud Nine C989 [1] (though I don't know how the mechanism to keep the two halves attached works), or for a DIY option there's the NEK Type A [2].

    For the profile of the keys themselves, you can make small changes to an existing keyboard by changing the keycaps -- although it's not always easy to find all the sizes required for an unusual keyboard. See [3]. I have SA keycaps on an otherwise-flat keyboard.

  • kint

    kinT keyboard controller (Kinesis controller replacement) (by kinx-project)

  • My https://github.com/kinx-project/kint project is a replacement keyboard controller for the Kinesis Advantage keyboards, which allows you to use QMK :)

    Evaluate ergonomic keyboard layouts over multiple languages

  • To support this, you might be interested by this little article: https://github.com/bclnr/kb-layout-evaluation
