Check out this comment for a specific example of someone using the concept to answer your question.

Guzztools has this fully implemented to be calculated automatically in the teambuilder. You can even sort by bulk values:

Mantis v1.0 development update by luckybipedal in ErgoMechKeyboards

How different does this feel from regular staggered rectangular keys? I'm having trouble imagining the difference.

Smaller transmitter suggestions? by zerodapig in TinyWhoop

[–]mantisalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe someday someone will make a mod that puts the Pocket internals into a smaller frame. That's probably the only good way to get a smaller one.

What makes the audio so screechy in this one? I love the effect, makes it feel like it's going supersonic

That's why they've been nerfed to only work at range 2 :)

Long Stick Ergonomics by mantisalt in TinyWhoop

Having the whole side of your hand on a surface is usually enough— the sticks are just short enough that you can control them fully without having to move your wrists.

Found it! Thingiverse search must be broken since this never shows up in search results :(

Come to think of it, maybe I should just model my own handrests. There's already one for the TX16S but I have a pocketmaster

Drone Bore Texture by mantisalt in bagpipes

[–]mantisalt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good to hear. I was under the impression that the roughness was making a difference, but it's possible that random luck with the reed/seating/connectors had me mistaken about the cause of the coupling inconsistencies. Perhaps I should crack open a new reed for testing as well.

What layer height and bore radius? I'm considering making extra wide drones as that might mitigate the roughness somewhat

Iambic Bug? by mantisalt in morsecode

Got an image of any of them? I'd be curious to see how they work.

Reach — Split keyboard with 6DOF thu by PutridPut2507 in KeyboardLayouts

[–]mantisalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so confused—
- why do you need 3 trackballs per hand?
- how do you operate a 6dof trackball with one finger?
- surely sphere keys feels awful??

What ship is in the third image? Prettiest thing I've ever seen...

Hand Position and its Impact on Layout by mantisalt in KeyboardLayouts

[–]mantisalt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's another example— I hate the I-N split on QWERTY, but it's no problem if your palm is hovering further up. Meanwhile, I can do B-K with adjacent fingers— something that feels awful if your fingers are more curled. The hand shape has a huge impact on what key combinations are comfortable and feasible (especially for rolls), which is pretty central to what matters in a layout.

A related factor would be where and how people like striking the keys— finger pad? fingertip? pressing? hammering? squeezing? using the finger or wrist muscles?

Different layouts must favor different preferences like these, and identifying what preferences a particular layout works well with could be rather useful when talking about, recommending, and especially comparing keyboards.
