Always good to meet a fellow touch typist and mech keyboard fan...
The only thing I would like more than this keyboard I have now is if it had another 15 keys so it can comfortably have a dedicated numeric key section. As it is I already placed the arrows in the centre of the layout.
When I've got some time to spare I'm going to learn how to hand code these things because currently I have cyrillic, dvorak and qwerty, and the cyrillic I'm probably not going to use much anymore за съжаление but it's annoying because keyboards are programmed by the key location, so to do other languages you have to fuck around with layout switching or, what I haven't done yet - using the compose keys to make them press whatever I want. I want to be able to type portuguese symbols on this so at some point I have to spend a day or two learning how to do that. Compose keys are a pain as well because the systems are different on every platform, so I'd literally have to make one program for linux and another for windows.
I doubt you have this issue, most people just stick with the trad jagged layout and are not forced to make choices like this because nobody seems to understand that ortholinears with pissy little layouts like 40 and 60 are seriously messed up for real work.
