Reason that it's only Microsoft and Android fanboys dishing at apple and not the other way around is that apple has nothing to argue with. I'm past the point where you need to tell someone which product is better, but it will never end.

Lol as a developer I should’ve known this 🤦♂️
I do use insert. Not often but enough that I included it. I’ll have to rethink the home and end key. In word processing and website I usually use PgUp and PgDn

It’s useful when you’re writing documents home will take you to the beginning of the document and end will take you to the end so you don’t have to scroll and click. When writing code home will take you to the beginning of the line and end will take you to the end. The insert key can be useful in some situations but I find the home and end keys to be used more often.

Not much need for it on a laptop, but I have a Q2 at the office for when I’m on external monitors. It’s also important to note that this hobby is pretty niche and a majority of mechanical keyboards are mass marketed toward gamers. You get Hermés or Herman-Miller in the keeb game and management with drop stacks though

What do you use home and end for? I don’t think I’ve ever used those keys

I would put 3 1u keys to the right of the spacebar instead of the 2 1.5u keys. Thta way I could have a function key for media control and a dedicated right alt and right control.

This is almost exactly the same layout (but not split) as the SP111 that I use as my daily driver. Absolutely love it.

Looks great, other people also have great suggestions. The only change I would make is to change insert key to be home/end. I use the home and end key way more often than the insert key. You could use home and then shift+home can be your end, and hide the insert keybind on another layer close by.

Yes! I've found this issue with my own attempts at using a numpad with the left hand. People frequently suggest for others to use a separate numpad and just move it to the left of your keyboard rather than having one integrated into the board itself, and the problem with that is that the numpad is designed for use with the right hand, and good luck trying to find a reversed layout numpad out there that isn't a part of an extremely limited/expensive keyboard.
To do a left-hand numpad properly, imo, the numpad layout needs to be reversed so that the thumb can rest over the '0' key, it feels really awkward and just un-ergonomic to scrunch your hand up and hit the zero with your pinky.
