I have been looking at this recently with great interest!

A problem I have with all other split layout keyboards is that they place the B key on the left side of the keyboard. However, I type the letter B with my right index finger, not my left. I know this is "incorrect", but it is firmly ingrained in my muscle memory and while I've tried changing it in the past, I've had little success.

I got very excited when I saw the "key cluster" module, since if it were available for the right side, it would allow me to just place my own B key next to N where I want it.

Is this planned? I would buy this in a heartbeat if so.

I used to have this habit as well. I ended up borrowing a ErgoDox Ez from a friend when my normal keyboard broke a few years ago, and bit the bullet and unlearned this habit and a bunch of others, and it was, to me, worth it.

I also always typed shift with my left pinkie, no matter what the next character was, even A. I also would ALWAYS look when doing numeric keys, and sometimes other combinations. I ended up with blank keycaps, and broke that habit.

You can do it!
