I had already posted this on the other keyboard community but after a few beers tonight, felt I should share it here too. I built this last weekend and test drove it at work all week. I think I really like the Robins but probably not as much as my beloved Sunsets.

The layout is for my Ferris but it’s mostly adapted to 36 keys as well. It’s based a bit on Miryoku and KKGA(I think that was the name). I also took heavy influence from Mental’s symbol layer with the finger roll bigrams. I do have a gaming layer but it’s sort of always changing depending on the game I am playing. Right now it’s Dyson Sphere Program so my second gaming layer is shortcuts for like belt levels and copy/pasting buildings.

    So that key on my left half is Tab right now and that is mostly for muscle memory going between 34 and 36 keys. On my right half it’s my gaming layer toggle so that is barely used. Where Tab is isn’t great and I am considering swapping it for the outer key which is Esc. It’s not bad for shorter typing sessions but as a software developer I use Tab a ton.

    If you can manage 34 keys, I would really recommend a Ferris Sweep. It’s thumb cluster really has been the best out of all I’ve tried so far.
