The obvious standard layouts are ISO, and ANSI, but what about the non-conventional that maybe don't have names.

Personally I like an ANSI layout but with the "big ass enter key and 1x backspace.

There’s a nice collection of keyboard layout diagrams / images here:

(Page in Japanese, but it’s mostly pictures.)

I’m partial to these:












Also think this is pretty nice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Cat

Ah, the "Amiga" style layout. I'm happy with ANSI layout because... KEYCAPS!

I have used a few different ISO and ANSI variants, but in the end I like standard ANSI most due to the symmetry of the layout and lack of weird shape caps. I find it easy to switch between layouts, though, so can live with any of the "normal" ones, but ANSI suits me best.
Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,
but I must have them.
