    Once it’s up and running, I’ll be sure to post. It’ll be a Dvorak layout, as that’s what I’m comfortable with.

    As an example though, take the left index finger. When resting over the home row on a standard keyboard it would be on the U key. The P key directly above and the K key directly below (QWERTY would be F with R above and V below). I’m planning to remove the home row. So the left index finger would have the two buttons - P & K. If I wanted to press U, I would simply press both buttons, so P & K together.

    In all honesty, I have a concern that pressing both buttons will be double the spring weigh, and that might not be ideal on the home row where I spend most of my time. But, I’m currently using choc whites which have an operational force of 50g, and planning to use sunsets on this which are 40g. So while 80g across two switches is obviously more than 50g, it’s not double, and I’m hoping it’ll be workable. We’ll see!
