Is this one supposed to be worse? 'Cause rn it's marginally better (split spacebar => ~3 keys for each thumb instead of 2.5).

Personally, I find layers more convenient. Like numbers on qwerty..., shift+numbers on asdf..., and all that stuff

I love layers too, caps lock is my escape key/modifier key now and im happy.

Also, do you like to peck and type your numbers using "Fn", "Fn1", "Pn", the illusive green modifier or all of them at once for capital numbers /s
