Dear All,
for my Ergodox EZ I have been optimising layouts (for German) for a long time, but I am not satisfied with the layouts yet.
One decisive factor for the optimisation results are the Individual Key Efforts/Costs/Penalties, which I want to bring inth discussion here.
The keys marked yellow are those of interest to me. I always use the same values for both hands (mirrored horizontally), a table of the values for the left side is sufficient accordingly.
I have used various sets of values for them.
These are some of the sets (for the left side; the right side is just mirrored):
| 5.2 | 3.5 | 3.5 | 3.5 | 5 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
| 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5.5 |
another set:
| 7 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| 7 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 3 |
another set:
| 9 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 8 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 4 |
I do not have any preference for any of these sets, they are just meant as examples. Which different values do you think meet the actual efforts better?
Are there popular ones, official ones or values that have been obtained for the Ergodox or a similar keyboard in an objective way like a measurement?
