And then I moved colon and semicolon to layers and re-assigned that outer pinky key to my rarely used AltGr key.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

I'm curious what you think about that little joystick; do you find yourself using it much?
Not yet. When I set it up, I moved the master side to be the right… which caused the axis on the joysticks to rotate 90 degrees. Ha.
I learned how to fix that but haven’t yet. I think I will try to use one side as a scroll wheel. Not sure about the other.
Maybe arrow keys.
In my initial test, they would make a poor primary pointing device.
