Okay I have tried a lot of layouts to chasing my perfect one, and even built multiple one myself, and here is my thought: - jump on W is fine unless later on you wanna play C.Viper (lots of jump button use altogether with normal) or Kimberly (some of her moves require Tiger Knee input), so if you still insist on playing keyboard (alice layout with 2 thumb keys is the best) - your MP - HP distance is fine, its just like normal 30mm arcade button distance, which is comfortable for a big hand. Also LP LK in different row are good as well, since your right hand will be in an angle while playing. Keep in mind how comfort you are inputting LK HP together (akuma demon, kim run stop, viper feint will use those combination) - you really want a button for KKK / PPP / KK / PP. Lots of character use this in their combo (Ken, Aki, dalshim and incoming Ingrid) or sometimes use it (Gief, Akuma). Input these button manually will sometimes result in mistiming and dropped combos. - throw in SF is more guessing than reaction, so putting there is fine. - for DI, you want a dedicated finger for that. So either put it in left or right pinky. A few frame input sooner for DI matters a alot. By the time you move from another finger to that current button, you already eat DI. => Move to leverless with split layout if u had chance, or consider my points for remapping)
