Wow, I haven't kept up since kbdfans discontinued the kbd75 (with split spacebar), but I'm glad something like this exists in case my kbd75 board dies. (recently I also found https://system76.com/accessories/launch https://system76.com/accessories/launch) So strange that it includes a Home key but not a End key (and there's space for it) > macro keys assigned to alt-x, ctrl-g, and ctrl-x ctrl-s for Emacs Wouldn't it slow you down a lot if you have to reach the far left for these? I just have Shift, Ctrl, Alt all in the split spacebar cluster and sticky key enabled so I'm very comfortable with any key chords (plus I use leader key). BTW I know you use VIA, and IIRC it doesn't enable the QMK macro recorder/playback keys. I used that a lot outside of Emacs. Thanks!

I've found that muscle memory helps a lot with meta-x and ctrl-g, but the save combo is never used. This is because I USA Mac and just use command-s for save nowadays. Muscle memory also helps with the other 2 macro keys, which are at the bottom left of the keyboard and fairly easy to hit with a pinky or ring finger. You're absolutely right, it's a reach and I'd prefer that the keys were positioned below the space bars. I actually swapped out and moved the upper right keys such that I have a home and end key as well as page up/down and delete. It's still my end game keyboard. It sounds and feels great! (I'll check out the macro recorder too)
