Be careful with split keyboards, or any keyboards with fewer keys or columns than usual, if you’re a European user. Many split layouts have a missing column on the right, where accent keys are located. One has to assign them to different keys or combos, which results in a substantially different typing habits with a steep learning curve, in my experience.

Yeap, that’s the other thing, many (especially in the DIY scene) have so few keys that you are forced to use layers even for mundane, every day stuff.
