But the layout is just one of the problems. The key staggering is also not very ergonomic. There are two cool keyboards featuring symmetric key positioning:
- Truly ergonomic keyboard http://www.trulyergonomic.com/store/index.php
- Type matrix http://typematrix.com
As mentioned by gokfar, I really look forward to the ergodox group buy
It should roll around before the end of the year, group buy happens at http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=22780.0
As for layout, I suggest Colemak with a custom alt layer such as http://forum.colemak.com/viewtopic.php?pid=5001#p5001
If you compare Workman and MTGAP 3.14 (shown [here](http://mathematicalmulticore.wordpress.com/the-keyboard-layo...) using [my keyboard evaluator](https://github.com/MTGandP/Typing), MTGAP 3.14 performs better on every single statistic except finger work. (You can see all of the different statistics explained on [my GitHub page](https://github.com/MTGandP/Typing/blob/master/Fitness). I didn't post them all here because it takes up too much space, but if you want, you can pull the program and to the comparison yourself.)
I like this very much. Another more accurate description that comes to mind is describing where you live: CountryA XOR CountryB
