I’ve used a US-QWERTY keyboard layout my entire life. I’ve seen other layouts that do things like reduce the size of the enter/backspace keys, move the pipe operator (|) and can’t wrap my head around how I would code on those.

What are your experiences? Are there any layouts that you prefer for coding over US English? Are there any symbols that you have a hard time reaching ($ for example)?

    AliExpress is your friend. Also there are great options on Amazon, depending on your location.

    Why not use a mech at work? Because it’s too loud?

      Yeah I don’t want to be a nuisance to my office neighbours. Right now I’m using a logitech mx keys, I could try looking for an ansi version of that.

      I will probably order a keychron with low profile switches for my home setup, so I depending on how quiet it is I might get that for work as well.
