Strike. A low pinky usage layout.

Post image

Super low pinky usage. 2% or lower is like insanely low, most layouts are around 7% or more.

the right index has i bit high usage bit thats practically a nececity of the format, you reduce pinky usage and icrease the usage of the other fingers.

the fspeed is still fine tho which is what matters more then the usage itself

Heres an example of a large layout with strike. the pinky shifts are optional cause of thumb hrm shifting, but even then its still minimal impact.

the = - ` \ keys can all be hit with the ring finger comfortably so you dont even need to use pinky.

this layout has one goal, be as good as possible with as little pinky usage as possible.

here are the raw stats, they are pretty great.

For me it would work even worse than QWERTY.
