Bring your own keyboard to work and have JIS keyboards shipped in from overseas. Imo it's worth it to not ruin/fight muscle memory.

I used to do this, and my company used to let me pick the layout of my laptop – but at some point they stopped, and since covid there’s now hotdesking, so I begrudgingly readjusted to a physical ANSI layout, mapped to QWERTZ.

Makes it very hard for colleagues to “quickly” type something on my computer if they can’t be bothered explaining what they want me to type in pair programming :)

Added bonus, you don’t have to deal with your co-workers stealing your keyboard.
