I'm trying to not use mouse, but the keyboard instead. So mouse movement, scroll and clicks are mapped in keys in a convenient layer.

It took me like a week to get used to ortholinear arrangement. But I've never type really fast in my life anyways.

I'm definitely not faster, but my writs stay more relaxed and are almost always still.

Looks great! How do you handle special characters and numbers? Layer changing all the way or not needed in your day-to-day operations?

Numbers and symbols are in layers reachable by the keys next to spacebar. Where my thumbs sit. Other keys of the first row had other layers for key I use less. It has 7 layers in total. So yeah, layer changing all the way around.
