Hi thanks for the replies
That 4x10 is actually nice and interesting but I'm puzzled by A->Z layout.
Is there any specific reason behind that?
They are supposed to be tied to no specific language so I wan't going to use a dvorak or such. And I think historically qwerty was made to slow down english language typing so based on a language aswell. abc seems more natural if you are language and technological history independant.
Why the “ergonomics” section? Maybe you can explain a bit about your design goals/criteria? Have you tried building this board and typing on it?
Its my first time in the forum, the ergonomics section seemed to be the best place to talk about alternate layouts. Please tell me if you think there is a better section elsewhere.
I'm just starting to get interested in the kb field so no I haven't built it.
I do try to imagine typing on it, but that doesn't really count !
The goals : redo compleately the standard full keyboard layout.
Have in very little space a num pad, arrows and all letters.
Plus get rid of the standard ctl, alt, alt gr, win keys and have something simpler like :
- function key (ctrl, win, alt) and alt gr key
Thanks
