I was in your boat, and I have small fingers. Here are the things I did to change that: I had a keyboard tray at work, so decided to get one of those from M3. It seems like a no brainer now. Removed the side rests from my chair, and lowered the keyboard height so that the lower wrist rests easily on my keyboard tray's wrist rest. I use the 'timed' shift functionality of the ergodox EZ. Check the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1rj9ZSBggg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1rj9ZSBggg I use vim extensively, and changed from hjkl to jkl; to keep touch typing in vim consistent with typing outside of it. I use the layer 1 extensively, and have mapped my thumb keys to enable those on a long press. My layout configuration is here: https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/BN33O/latest/0 https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/BN33O/la... I still struggle a bit due to small fingers. I am currently in the process of ditching my pinky for typing, but 95% of my complaints are now resolved. I also don't have the default keycaps, the ones I have are a random assortment of SA/DSA keys I got for cheap from a grab bag, I want to switch to cherry profile which aren't as deep and would hopefully work well for my small fingers.
