I love my Planck. But recently I’ve been pondering a Preonic because I use numbers on a painfully regular basis.

How do you find the two ?

I started with the Preonic, it did take a while to remember the numbers. I considered at one point using the number legends instead of the alphas for the top row, since I know qwerty pretty well. Maybe you could try that?

They are sold on drop.com. Orcas is the brand.

I just started using a planck in the last week or so, with the default key mappings, and my righthand pinky is having a rough time. I think I might give your right column and arrow layout a shot. Where did you end up mapping the colon/semicolon? As it looks like that is the key that was dropped due to the 2nd Shift.

I have it on a layer on the slash/question mark key on the bottom row. It works well there but I find I use semicolons more than slashes so it may have been better to swap those layers.

I use a layer to have number pad under my right hand. Feels natural
