Sorry I'm not overly familiar with custom keyboard types, what exactly is the benefit of this type of layout?

It started as a joke for my friend who doesn’t understand how I use a 35% but then some people seemed interested so I actually made it.

I’ve been using it for about a month now and use the QAZ keys for macros. I have tried actually using them as Q, A, and Z, too and it was actually easier than I expected.
