After seeing the reactions of the Qazimoto, thought I'd share my daily driver (lemmy.world)

Yes, it’s mechanical. Choc V1 20g Nocturnal switches, and I use it daily at work typing for a living. 26-key Unibody ʻākohekohe

How do you switch modes? Like, activating nav or symnum layout?

Or how do you even use the [shift] key, while it's primarily bound to [R] ?

Holding the highlighted red thumb key(s) will activate layers. So left thumb is nav, right is symnum, both is fun.

The shift on R is only used for shortcuts, and acts as r when tapped and shift when held. For typing I use the two sticky shift combos on ring+middle homerow.
