    Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families (by Signynt)

  • As you might have been able to tell I'm into pretty small boards, my sweet spot is 40%. For one you will notice that a lot of boards that are in the formfactor you are interested in are on the smaller side, since this is also one of the ways they become more ergonomic: you don't need to stretch around much or reach for any keys, they will mostly be right under your fingers in different layers. If you are going to go smaller than 60% I would recommend going straight to 40% since the number row is ultimately pointless if you are going to be using layers anyway. It is so much faster and practical to be able to type numbers in a numberpad right under my home row, that I can access by just holding down a key with my thumb. Most of the keyboards I'm talking about make great use of the thumbs, having so much space given to the space bar is a real waste, especially if you're looking at a smaller keyboard. Have a look at my keymap and you might get an idea if this kind of keyboard is for you. Ultimately you will probably want to make your own that is tailored to your needs, but that's another great advantage of these types of boards, they all support QMK. Oh, and thanks, glad you like them!
