> What I'd love to see is a "106% keyboard", where a couple columns are duplicated on both the left/right side. Does anybody make such a keyboard?

I've seen some where the '6' is present on both the left and right-hand side of a split keyboard but '6' is really the one and only key on which there can be a disagreement as to where is the correct placement.

On non-staggered keyboard the '6' is, of course, on the right hand side of the keyboard but on staggered split keyboard it is, very often, on the left hand side.

Most split keyboards in that gallery that do have a numbers row (ie 60% of more, not 40%) do have the '6' correctly located on the right hand side.

Yet most (not all) split-staggered keyboard have the '6' located on the left hand side of the keyboard.

People who learned to touch-type using the "6 with left hand" school have a very hard time adapting to an ortholinear split keyboard. While those who learned to touch-type using the "6 with the right hand" have a much easier time adapting to an ortholinear split keyboard.

Strange. I type with 10 fingers since 20 years or so (self-learned with some programs back then) and actually my only real problem comes from the number row since it just doesn't come to me intuitively, like it's simply wrong (and yes, i don't type numbers really often - that's also why I wouldn't agree with your reasoning that the 6 is responsible for a hard time adapting, since the 6 will simply not be typed very often for non-accountants. If you had said C/V/B, I'd agree). Only now that I've seen the Atreus62 I've come to believe that the number row (and C,V,B) are simply wrong on a standard keyboard. They simply don't work as they should be. At least for me personally.

I have two split keyboard that have "6" on left and on right. It's confusing but not a serious problem after I've get used to. I still mistype the empty space instead of "6" key, but what should I do is just type it on other hand.
