This picture is very concerning due to the lack of letters and punctuation on some of these keyboards. One has "QAZ" in the wrong place, two more lack those letters entirely, and one has gone so far as to remove "L" too. What psychopath designed these?
Look up layers, each physical switch can be used for multiple keys.
For letters and punctuation though? Seriously? Like, okay, lesser used punctuation like carets, tildes, lesser/greater than, stuff like that seems reasonable to stick behind a layer. Letters though?
I write JavaScript on the tiny ones so I have to type a lot of () and {} and stuff. It took me a little while to get used to.
Also I have them mapped so that QAZ are Esc, Tab, Shift. So all letters are accounted for on layer 0.
