This makes a lot of sense. Personally I never touch typed the numbers, and which hand is used for B could be largely dependent on right/left-handedness, habit, and what word you're typing at the moment.

This could be a point but I really think most people just buy alice boards because they look cool (they do).

I really enjoy it! It’s very smooth to type on, even with the browns (but they’re not completely linear). They sound more “thunky” than my keychron, which I particularly like.

The only thing is that it is a compact 75, so I’ve been tripping on a couple of keys that are closer together than I’m used to.

As someone who teaches technology you are wrong. There is no touch typing standard. Obviously the majority of keys have specific touch typing rules. All of the programs I’ve reviewed for our school district (6 or 7) all of them taught b as an either hand key and the vast majority taught 6 as a left hand press. So it sounds like you really don’t know what you are talking about. But what else is new looking at every one of your posts :).
