I am still quite unhappy that there is like no default layout for ergodox. I wish there would exist one. Planck is far easier to make because there are atleast some obvious keys available and they share also the same size. I think community need to define ergodox standard. For example based on ansi layout.
Half the drop down lists don't have the key and don't let you put in an entry :(
A couple other threads that I recall on roughly the same topic. You may be able to get some ideas from them too.

just finnished your survey. May I just add something that presented a problem for me in your survey. I have an 80 key ergodox not the infinity ergodox not the ergodox ez, but the ergodox made from parts bought from Falbatech. Anyway its 80keys not standard 76. Means that the 2u key on thumb cluster is actualy two 1u keys. so I have 4 keys more. Means the keycap sets that have 2u keys for the thumb cluster can not be used in my case. Just saying...
Thank you for making this survey I actually liked it.
I really liked jolly_gnu's idea of a supplementary pack to PMK's standard dye sub PBT set, but I think he was trying to do too much and in too obscure of a way. Pare down his proposal into just the Ergodox keys, get PMK to combine it with their standard run (and fairly reasonably priced) dye sub PBT set to create a super flexible Ergodox set and then get MD to make it an addon to their next Ergodox run. I think you'd have a winner.
Responded. Hope this gives some solid results. If nothing else it will be nice to see the distribution of what people are using.
Submitted. I said it in the survey but it is worth repeating: Colemak! I don't use qwerty anymore.Amusing, as I filled out the survey before reading all of this thread, and said 'dvorak -- but that's a separate problem)'
I suspect there won't be too much agreement with the 'extra' 1u keys, because they're so unwieldy they all get assigned as 'dump' keys -- although I'm trying to teach myself to use a flat arrow layout instead of the "traditional" inverted T.
It is going to be impossible to agree upon Ergodox layouts..
I still make a change every once in a while..
It has to be blanks.
I know that this isn't a perfect way to measure, but on recent GBs that have both Ergodox and ISO kits, Ergodox outsells the ISO kit almost every time, and sometimes by quite a lot.
Want to fill this out, but I don't have my 'dox functioning yet and I haven't experimented too much with layouts to make my survey entry worth the data inputted. :(
So you're saying we should just use blanks and deal with it. :p

Oh jeeze. How far off is that from your keymap? I didn't get to the point where I combed over individual responses and just took the majority of responses per location.
can please someone help me with QMK?
Heres my code

Could you please send me your layouts? Im new to the dox, and still trying to figure out a nice layout (I thought about AdNW), but I am unsure about modifiers....
Thanks for
The Infinity ErgoDox is back up on Massdrop. You can add on a blank set of DSA for $39 or blank DCS for $50.
Based the the key count in the picture yinzer posted above, the pricing for a 60% base set of Signature Plastic's stock DSA Sublimated Keycap Sets and some rough estimates of what it would cost to produce the remaining keys (based on some of the child packages in some other DSA drops), I'd like to think yinzer's layout could be sold for $100ish. Looking back, if I'd had the choice of a blank keycap addon with my drop for $39 or legend caps for $100, I'd have splurged for the legend caps. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd like to think I'm not alone in that.

I don't think people will mind helping you with your Ergodox, but this is not the thread for it. Consider finding a thread related to your questions or making your own.

Compared to my current layout (Programmer Dvorak with a bit of adjustments), the "A" key is in the correct place. Some others are close-ish, but not quite: one of the labels is ok, but the other isn't. (I prefer to have blank modifiers anyway)
Not to further thread crap, but I did send Phenix a couple PMs and gave him a few pointers, so I didn't totally ignore him, but I was trying to keep the off topic stuff in this thread to a minimum. If Phenix or anyone else has any other questions regarding something similar, feel free to just send me a PM and we can try and keep yinzer's thread on topic.
Yea, and thanks for that. Do understand your point
Well you nailed the alphas. :D
My comment was more to the fact that you still have a lot of blanks in your example. I thought the whole point of this was to find some middle ground for legends. Are Tab, Shift, and \| the only keys we mostly agree on? If so, that's hilarious.
For reference, this is pretty close to my layout (very minor changes since this was made):Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/JerlDxY.png)

What do you all think? How close is this to "just right?"
