- Hello
- I see you have a page on the French layouts.
- French Ergonomic Keyboard Layouts: dvorak-fr, bepo, bvofrak
- I'd like to point out the existence of a new layout I've designed that corrects all Bepo's weaknesses: it's called Optimot. Optimot is gaining in popularity. MoErgo produces Optimot keycaps for Glove80.
- https://optimot.fr/
- Here is a short presentation:
- Optimot is a keyboard layout optimized for French and English, for all kind of keyboards: classic staggered-row (ISO or ANSI), ortholinear or split. Its design draws on the experience of Bรฉpo to further improve typing comfort for all configurations. It uses angle-mod on staggered keyboards with an additional backspace key at the center of the keyboard.
- While I'm at it, I'd like to say that your page on computer character frequencies has been a useful tool for me. Thank you.

- major update. Glove80 Keyboard
X-Bows Knight Keyboard, the best one-piece keyboard.
Updated. I use them both. Currently mostly use the dk61, because i got light linear switch on it. (Gateron Red Switch (linear)) However, it doesn't have physical arrow keys, which is a pain in the ass. The k68 does, but the switch i got is heavier. (it is cherry mx red silent, not bad, but due to my Repetitive Strain Injury, i must have even lighter switches.)
Minor update. Haven't been following the macro keypad scene. Since am happy with Ultimate Hacking Keyboard V2 as my macro keypad.
