Hello, I have ni experience in mechanical keyboards and I am planning to build (and handwire) my own.
But this requires prototyping, and those require switches and keycaps (which I dont have yet) or eg 3d printed material (which is useless without the keys, and is relatively expensive, compared to paper).
Hence my question : Is there any value to design a layout considering the position of my hand on paper ? (Like in the photo)
Will bad real layout feel incomfortable in a paper plan ? Will good paper plan feel good as a layout ?
For instance, I have quite big hands, and after printing the ergodox's svg from keyboard-layout-editor, I couldn't even place my hands such as 1 finger => 1 row, though it could be because of a bad scale (It would be strange, considering the total size of each row).
