@aartaka A spacebar which takes up six keys while I only need one? And thus loose five perfectly nice keys for the thumbs?! No thanks!

I have been using the BFO-9000 for years and like that I can both get active thumbs *and* buttons under the outer part of my palm.

But I would really like something to control the mouse more easily available...

@simendsjo yeah, small spacebar orthos are nice! 

But, for me, conventionality of the layout matters a lot, because I switch devices often. Thus the perfect status of HHKB for me—it’s literally compatible with all of my devices. 

So QWERTY, minimal remapping (Caps -> Ctrl,) and normal sized keys. In the best case—Japanese keyboard with smaller spacebar, but I’m yet to find one.

Tex Shura has a JP layout and similar shape to the HHKB Studio.  No touchpads in the case, though.  What do you think about it?
