In this ~25-minute video I explain the more subtle design choices that go into my split mechanical keyboard. Those pertain to the use of the thumb cluster and the total number of keys. With careful consideration of my use-case, I have optimised for comfort without sacrificing any kind of functionality.

Concretely, I discuss some features of QMK about one-shot modifiers, modifier/layer lock, and the repeat key. I also talk about the combination of those with sculptured keycaps and easy-to-actuate key switches.
