He’d definitely benefit from a southpaw keyboard if he’s not willing to go below a 100% layout.
What am I saying, every right handed person would benefit from a southpaw keyboard if they are not willing to go below a 100% layout.
Considering how many things have a right-handed bias, it’s honestly surprising fullsize keyboards are the opposite.
It probably depends on use case. There are plenty of situations where having numpad on the right makes perfect sense for right handed people.
But I’m an oddball who is very much right handed but uses the mouse left handed because my right wrist got so much wear and tear from early life data entry work.
Never knew those existed, really cool. I'll try to remember that and consider one once my old one dies, which by the looks of it will take another decade.
My experience is like a mirror opposite; nearly all mechanical keyboards are less than 100%, and my productivity would nosedive if I had to hunt and peck numbers.
You might not be wrong overall, but I thought it was funny that my anecdote is fully the opposite.
I need to do a lot of number entry for my work, and the southpaw TKC CandyBar saved my life. I liked it so much I immediately bought a second one just in case something happened.
Then I got a Prime_E. I think people over estimate how hard it is to adjust typing habits to accommodate layers and toggles!
Maybe? I've never touched one and I'm not rich or idle enough to buy into an entirely new paradigm. My desk is the size of a coffin as well, so I've got to fill it up with something. Might as well be a huge keyboard that sounds like a box of staplers falling down the stairs.
