The TEK keyboard looks good and with familiar design. I thought at first you were talking about the brand I use: I currently have a TEX Shinobi, which has the trackpoint (like on Thinkpads) if you use those, as well as left click/right click/scroll. I like the size as well, which I find to be compact. My only real issues: I would choose switches other than browns (there is a DIY version which seems interesting) and the scroll button does not register as Mouse3. It is also maybe a bit pricey

So my primary keyboard these days is one of the older TEK keyboards.  They're still mostly QWERTY, but have moved a few of the special keys around, like enter and delete.  Even these took some time to get used to, and a little more time to get used to switching back and forth with the typical layout on anything else.  I'd have to see some pretty impressive improvements before I'd try to really put in the work to learn and switch between the whole alphabet.

Besides, I find that the keyboard is rarely the bottleneck - I quite frequently can type faster than I can think, so typing faster wouldn't speed up my work at all!

What do people think of alternative keyboard layouts?

I ask because a couple of my co-workers use "workman"

It's an interesting idea.  I'd be happy bring one of mine at some
point, but not until after then end of June.
