I'm using an Anne Pro II, mechanical 60% keyboard. Capslock accesses a function layer, I've got vim-like hjkl arrow keys mapped, and some delete/backspace keys mapped to my home row. If you just tap the capslock key without hitting anything else on the function layer it works like a regular capslock.

When I'm typing something in a search bar I can just hit capslock+j/k and I'm cruising up and down the autocomplete suggestions. It's great for moving the cursor left and right in non-editor environments (and also insert mode).

I originally bought it for ergonomics, I absolutely love it now. Once the bindings became second nature it breathed new life into my capslock key usage. I would recommend it, or any similar programmable 60%, to anybody who likes to tinker with keymappings.
