I’ve used a US-QWERTY keyboard layout my entire life. I’ve seen other layouts that do things like reduce the size of the enter/backspace keys, move the pipe operator (|) and can’t wrap my head around how I would code on those.

What are your experiences? Are there any layouts that you prefer for coding over US English? Are there any symbols that you have a hard time reaching ($ for example)?

    I want to try ANSI also, but it seems pretty hard to find in EU. I’ve considered getting a keychron for my gaming setup but I don’t want a full on mechanical for work, and I don’t want to use ISO at work and ANSI at home because it will screw with my muscle memory.

      AliExpress is your friend. Also there are great options on Amazon, depending on your location.

      Why not use a mech at work? Because it’s too loud?
