More Keys or Fewer Keys for mechanical keyboards

Read Original

The author details a month-long experiment using a 42-key Corne-style keyboard (Cornish Zen) to challenge the belief that 55+ keys are necessary. It explains the concept of keyboard layers as a cognitive alternative to having many physical keys, discussing the trade-offs between mechanical and cognitive burdens in keyboard design.
