Found this unusual keyboard layout on the internet. Looks like a better version of a standard 80% layout.

What do you think about it?

    Two wins - that's better
    A big plus button at the right end - that's good
    Delete button - not good. looks misplaced to me
    The duplicate 0 - wish it was replaced with a ctrl+alt+del button

    Lose the numpad. Toggling numlock will be a pita. Better get used to numbers above letters. Did that. Haven't missed numpad ever since [6-8yrs]. Not once.

    Delete needs to be it's own button and make the two zeroes one, I'd be happy with it. Need a numpad 100%

    @asgs delete is in the same spot as in ISO/ANSI layout

    There was a very similar Layout popular in Germany around the 2000‘s, except it didn’t had two zero buttons but one single zero and a double zero one. And of course an double row enter key.

    Edit: also the whole alt functions on the num pad were shifted one row down , eg. delete. Math buttons should always for math and nothing else.

    My problem is that my muscle memory is way too tuned to my current layout,so literally anything else would be a royal screwup for way too long.

    That layout is actually almost 1-to-1 to the layout of one of the rarer Model M’s - there is a model that doesn’t have a nav layout (the arrow keys and all of the other keys above the arrow keys) and only has the QWERTY keyboard and the numpad. I forgot the name of the model though. If I’ll find it, I’ll send a picture of it.
