Hey guys, first post here.
Been on the fence about picking up a Planck lately.
The price isn't a huge deal, and the "assembly required" nature seems like it might be a little fun, but I have no faith in ortho layouts.
Is anyone aware of a keyboard (or a kit like the Planck) I can buy that has both the programmability of the Planck, and the mini-spacebar so that I can put layers under the thumb, but is staggered like usual? In my searching, I've seen a few one-off personal projects like this, but nothing produced at a scale where I can just expect to whip my wallet out and get it on a truck headed in my direction.

Some extra detail:
- Coming from a 60% board already for my Yoga 700 setup (KBP v60).
- Currently using this AHK script (https://github.com/salembeats/Salem-Misc-Productivity-AHK/blob/master/Salem60Caps.ahk) that I forked from the Internet and modified a bit to use Caps Lock as a modifier on Windows.
- Keyboard will be used 50% for coding ( Vim / VS Code with Vim keybinds ), 30% for data entry, 20% for misc/games. I'd like to use layers to put the number keys under the home row, arrange the numpad block on a layer, etc.

Welcome to GH!
Not a tiny spacebar but there are a couple of boards available with a split spacebar so you get 2.25, 1.25 and 2.75 caps in the standard spacebar gap.
Knowing where in the world you are would help with local option :)

I've seen those! Not quite the holy grail, but a bit better than what I've got with the v60, as long as it's fully-programmable.
