After looking more into 40's, I'm wanting one more (alot more versatility than I expected - gotta love layers and macros).

I would recommend a split 40% ortho, such as the let's split, kyria, or corne. However, I started with a regular 40% ortho, namely a Niu mini from kbdfans, I like that one better than the planck since it is top mount, nice case, and maybe a 7 degree angle, it is also the same price, and is usually in stock. The thing ppl dislike with the Niu is that it has mini usb. But again, I would recommend a split, I'm typing this on a let's split, which is super nice, a regular acrylic sandwich case!

Edit: here it is,



Edit2: Here is a good list of split keyboards, https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards

i've been developing a new 40% case design with a large bezel, called the yui40. I held a mini gb for 5 units and it was a lot of fun, and a lot of learning.

It this actually usable? Having 5 keys as mods, I presume there's some chording going on for actually getting more out from the keyboard than just letters?

No this is definitely now my daily keyboard, but I tried doing a whole school project with it and it wasn't that bad (I flashed it with a layout that I like and got used to it)

Reaching the spacebar is a bit hard at first, but you get used to it. And yeah the layout is quite complicated with a lot of tap dance :)

I swap these boards weekly.
the one with mt3 susuwatari uses cherry mx black while the vomit one uses gateron black. I like the sound of mx black better, though.

Very nice! I've never gotten used to home-row-mods (hrm). Are you using hrm or macros? Would be interesting to hear how you converged to your layout!

i'm using homerow mods and combos on these keyboards [1]. to be honest, i cannot really remember when i started using those features. perhaps when i started using <40 keys keyboards. but i remember that i struggled for a week or so to tune my typing time and tempo. i was a slow typist and still is, though.

I see! Yeah, I've been using a Corne now for some months, have tried to only use 5 columns, but I type so irregular and to me it seems hrm are not optimal for that.
