oh, i have used malt and rsthd layout for some months. the layouts were ok. but there are some letters that are placed less than ideal if i type in non-english language. for malt’s, a’s placement is less than ideal in, e.g. indonesia where a’s frequency iirc is a bit more than english’ e. for rsthd, k and b’s placements are also less than ideal because those two letters are used pretty frequently too.
so, i threw the letters around randomly based on gut feeling and here’s the result:
q v c p b . l u y z
r s t h d f n a i o
' j g k x ; m w , /
e _
some features that i use are combos, hold-tap thing, and layers on thumbs (e and spc) and index fingers.(h and n).
overall, i am fine with it and don’t think i want to spend any more effort after, i think, reached the point of diminishing return.
edit: to clarify, i use 36 keys keyboards.
