The kinesis is awesome, but it messes with the special keys too much (ctrl,

Some of those keys are the problem, especially if you use emacs. What
you do with a Kinesis is reprogram some of the thumb keys -- it's now
completely obvious to me that cmd, ctrl, and opt are under the thumb.
There are a lot of these trade-offs in ergo. I now have a mouse on the
right, trackpad on the left, and 3dconexxion that I can move from one
side to another. One of my coworkers at Apple had foot switches for
shift and cmd, one of my friends has some crazy dvorak setup that only
makes sense in his crazy view of coding.
