Not observant myself, but best wishes to those of the faith. My first ever hand-wired keyboard was a Planck with an extra column.

Wow, some people will just not hear about living without their ISO enter, huh? 😉

Even though I didn’t quite fall in love with the general idea of ortho, I’m still pretty pleased with myself. Bigger enter, proper arrow keys, and no missing punctuation. Good compromise for a bit of extra pinky movement, and no reason you couldn’t just map it out as a as normal Planck with a trio of media keys or macros.

That is even 1 key less than I have. ^^ 39%?

There are people who daily the real thing, with 47 or 48 keys. I couldn't do it, even with this one visually preserving more of the "standard" layout. Turned out I liked building boards more than learning to use them.

I daily one with 42 keys and I almost never use 2 of them.

Something I cooked up, it's a regular horizontal staggered board but other than that very similar to the Corne indeed.
