As the title indicates, I need a reality check. You see, I'd really
like to build my own keyboard. I've used many different kinds of
keyboards over the years, and none has thus far been the perfect
keyboard, so I'm starting to think, if I want it done right I'll have
to do it myself.

What problems with existing keyboards, exactly, are you trying to
solve?

Ah, that could take a while to explain. Let's just say I've tried just about every type of keyboard you can think of save for the more esoteric ones such as the DataHand or various chording keyboards. The crux of the problem for me is that I don't want to have to reach my fingers far from the home row, so the keyboard should have less reaches and more modifier keys.
