The first keyboard ever to trigger me to give deeper thoughts into my keyboard layout is the ErgoDox. The ErgoDox boasts a layout drastically different from traditional keyboards, and because of this, offers great flexibility over key placements: I can immediately spot seven sensible locations for the Enter key (original pinky location, four 2u keys at the thumb clusters and the lower two 1.5u vertical keys in the center). I've been using ErgoDox almost exclusively since 2015, and have grown to like it even more as I started using Emacs - having access to both Control and Alt/Meta key on the home row just feels awesome.

I still feel I am under-utilizing the keyboard's capabilities though. As you might tell, I don't know what to do with some of the thumb cluster keys. I currently have three extra layers set up: one for function keys, one for numpad, and another for a modified Dvorak layout. I haven't spend too much time on the Dvorak layer yet, but I am curious about potential benefits of decreased finger motion. Speaking of ergonomics, a perhaps uninteded benefit of ErgoDox's design is that it frees up the center of my desk, so that I can still read and write normally without a super deep desk.

Planck is another keyboard that I've taken some thoughts designing layout for. It is pretty surprising what a 40% board is actually capable of. However, using Planck is a lot less comfortable just because of how small it is - ErgoDox on the other hand allows me to rest my arms in more natural positions, instead of cramming my hands together. That being said, I would imagine a Let's Split - basically a Planck split in halves - to work fairly well.

## My Own Keyboard/Layout {#my-own-keyboard-layout}
-I've thought about creating my own keyboard occasionally. As perfect as ErgoDox may seem, it is somewhat bulky, and I find the thumb cluster a bit hard to reach. For quite some time I used `C-Home/C-End` to move to top/bottom of a file in Emacs, and that caused pain in my thumb joint as I need to stretch hard to reach both keys (that went away when I found `M-</M->` though). A slim down version of ErgoDox with more compact thumb clusters might just be the perfect keyboard. By the way, I have never before find wireless keyboard necessary in any way, but since ErgoDox features a split design, a wireless version of it can be used while lying down Nintendo-Switch-style, which would be pretty awesome.

ErgoDox 是第一个促使我真正下心思选择键盘布局的键盘。正是由于布局和传统键盘相差甚远， Ergodox 在键位布局选择上提供了很高的自由度：我一眼就能找到七个适合回车键的位置（传统右侧小拇指位，拇指区的四个 2u 键位，以及中心偏下的两个 1.5u 键位）。从 2015 开始，我就几乎只使用 ErgoDox 了。 ErgoDox 的好处在我开始使用 Emacs 后更加明显：能够轻而易举地够到控制键和转换键的感觉非常棒。

ErgoDox 还有很多潜力没有被我发掘出来。如你所见，我还没有想出拇指区部分键位的最佳用处。目前除了基本层外，我额外设置了三层键位布局：一层用于功能键，一层用于数字小键盘，最后一层是经过修改的 Dvorak 布局。我还没有在 Dvorak 层上花太多时间，不过我对 Dvorak 减少手指移动次数的功效很有兴趣。说到人体工学， ErgoDox 设计有个额外的好处：我书桌的正中央终于可以从键盘的统治下空出来了，就算没有一张超级深的桌子我也可以不受键盘干扰正常看书。

Planck 是另一块让我下心思设计布局的键盘。 40% 键盘所能塞下来的东西其实多的让人吃惊。但是使用 Planck 时的舒适性不可避免地被它的尺寸所妨碍了 - 相比之下，使用 ErgoDox 这种分体键盘时两手可以保持更为自然的姿势，而不是以奇怪的角度挤在一起。我觉得 Let's Split - 基本上就是分体版的 Planck - 会是个不错的选择。

Ever since I discovered Geekhack, I would routinely refresh the groupbuy or interest check section for new keycap sets that other users designed. I gradually went from sets with flashy colors to those with a more muted and uniform look. I also prefer uniform keycap profiles (like DSA) with text legends than those with height gradients and graphical legends, although I find it really hard to appreciate blank keycaps. Getting a full set of keycaps with matching legends for ErgoDox is certainly no easy task (unlike Planck which is almost entirely consisted of 1u keys), and all these quirks I have made keycap shopping increasingly difficult.

在我发现了 Geekhack 论坛后，我在很长一段时间里都会疯狂刷新团购和兴趣调查版，以收集其他用户所设计的客制键帽情报。我发现自己的兴趣逐渐地从色彩对比强烈的配色转向了更为统一，柔和的设计。在键帽形状的选择上，我也偏好没有高低梯度的类型，比如 DSA 。键帽图样上我更喜欢文字而非图案，有意思的是我并不觉得空白键帽有多么值得欣赏。这些癖好使得我的寻找键帽之旅异常困难：要想给 ErgoDox 配齐一整套图样相称的键帽可不是什么容易的事（ Planck 因为全是 1u 键，所以要容易得多）。
