This is pretty interesting. I've effectively done something similar with my Moonlander where a hold/toggle key on the left side switches the left layout to that of the right side. I do it because I no longer need to take my hand off of the mouse to press a key on the right side anymore, which often would occur when I was using Blender or other productivity tools. However I would much prefer dedicated keys for the keys instead like this. It looks quite handy.

No trackball? I'd say this GoonPad isn't complete without one!

Command/Windoze key would be better further right for me, since it makes more sense to use my thumb for it. It's much easier to tuck my thumb and reach over rather than use my pinky and rotate my entire hand to reach keys further away. Just a preference.

I wonder if the m and j should be swapped. J doesn’t seem to be very common
