I've been wanting to build a portable keyboard for programming at my college (Because let's face it, rubber domes suck). I was looking at a 60% keyboard, but recently I have realized that 60% isn't right for me and the thumb is wasted on most keyboards. Thus I am starting a mission to create a more useful keyboard. Right now it only uses each thumb independently, but it has a full keyboard tucked on it.

Here is a link to the Keyboard Editor of it.

What do you guys think? How can we make this better? Does something better already exist?

For portable use I'm mostly fine with standard 60% in HHKB or derivative layout.
If I had to add something to it, as a long time Vimmer, first thing would actually be dedicated ESC and function keys row, rather than numpad or navigation cluster.

Why do you need a numpad for programming?
