I’ve taken it too far haven’t I?
@hannadryad Yes.
What do you plan to do with the extra 17 switches that aren’t necessary for morse code?
To be fair I am planning on putting them back at some point.
I’m working on a core 18-key layout that I can expand anywhere up to 34 keys, so I have a consistent layout that I can use on some of the unibody split keyboards that are usually in that range of keys.
Miscounted, long day…
Bit too low for me but interesting. I think ditching pinky column completely is too much, I’d rather go 3*4+2 per hand minimum.
What’s the layout?
It’s my own layout starting from Colemak DH with the “missing” outer keys on another layer.
Yeah I’m doing it to establish a common layout for my symbol / number / navigation layers more than anything else, so I can expand from there to some 28 and 30 key keyboards as well as the Ferris Sweep with some consistant muscle memory.

This is mine (I have few changes tho) if you want some inspiration :) it’s 34 based on Canary layout.
I really love small format but I struggle with chords misfiring. But it’s a good mix of one shot (shift and symbol layer) with hold (navigation) layers. I think I couldn’t go lower without sacrificing typing speed.
Eh, I don’t get it at all so I can’t judge. I feel like even a 104 key-layout is kinda lacking, a keyboad just doesn’t seem like the right place for minimalism to me.
It’s not about minimalism it’s about ergonomics

I like the little Ferris!
So one button is for key, all other are layers?
So one half is for typing in t9, what does the other half do ?
Layers, so many layers.
Not sure if this is bragging or a call for help
Somewhere in the middle? More of late night realisation than anything else.
I wish I could join the under-20-keys gang. What are you running with tho? KMK?
Personally I’m not sure it’s worth it longer term. 5x3+2 is my preference but I’m doing this to sort my layers so I can try some of the unibody split keyboards that have less keys to go round.
Nahh, 2 half numpads is, still, like, nearly double the number of fingers you have, so waay overkill with all that finger movement
Can you Alt+F4 with one hand? If not, it’s a yes from me.
This comment made me feel uneasy, claustrophobic even :D
I see the reasoning for everything else, but no thumb keys makes no sense to me.
I totally agree. I was focusing on getting the positioning of symbol layers and such right, and I wanted that to be independent of the number of thumbkey so when I add thumbkeys back in (say for weteor/grumpy) the core layouts will remain the same.
Yes.
