Ok, yeah. I guess that is super close to what I am picturing. Keeping the stagger is kinda a mistake, though. With your hands less free to move from side to side, I imagine you would need a layout closer to a Planck with a thumbshift. It may even be good to remove the numrow in favor of a fn layer numpad... Thanks for the insight. It's good to see other designs and what they did right/wrong.
