You could go one step further and build your own keyboard to match your hands as well. I've watched several of these videos and planning on eventually building one: ▶ this video
In the realm of programmable keyboards, it doesn’t really matter which OS you will use it with… My golden medium is Anne Pro II, even though I own new model F. But more and more I’m getting drawn to an idea of building 36 keys custom. Watch something from a channel of this hugely underrated gent: ▶ this video Edit: typos (ipad screen kbd…)
> Build your own keyboard This is something I've been interested in lately as well & came across this video: ▶ this video It's targeting a split keyboard, but I think it details the general steps involved pretty well.
