YampadV2-Updated
This is the updated version of CustomKBD's variant of Matt's Yampad. CustomKBD's Yampad has an encoder incorporated into the design. I simply updated CustomKBD's firmware files for the new QMK firmware stucture. It complies and produces the default hex file through QMK MSYS.

looking for bespoke solution
Regarding chording, you might find inspiration in the chording schemes in Ikcelaks’ Magic Sturdy, the Ardux project, and precondition's "steno-lite" combos.

Split Manuform for more than a year
I spent most of the last 2 years using variants of this but more recently I’ve switch from home row mods to one shot mods and modifier positions similar to Xah. https://github.com/precondition/dactyl-manuform-keymap

New and exciting forearm pain
Something that made a big difference for me was home row mods. If you can use QMK to embed ctrl, shift, alt, gui into ‘long press’ on the home row it will reduce strain from overusing the pinky finger. After about 1 year of using a variation of this setup I think home row mods reducing pinky finger strain has been the most noticeable improvement although there are many more benefits to switching to something like this dactyl manuform kb. https://github.com/precondition/dactyl-manuform-keymap

Keymap Tinkering
How did I arrive to this keymap? It's been a journey. I used home row mods for a few months. This felt great, but with my sloppy typing I routinely got false triggers (despite IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT) and struggled to get my typing speed much above 60 wpm. In an attempt to reduce false triggers, I wrote my own (not very good) mod-tap implementation, then realized this is a hard problem. I tried Precondition "steno lite" (see the system of combos in his keymap), and worked through some lessons from Zack Brown's excellent Learn Plover site to learn a little about real steno. I've dabbled with RSTHD and BEAKL15 before going back to Dvorak.
