Layout optimization best practices: sources of your personal corpus (part 2)
Welcome back to our series on designing custom keymaps! After looking into how good/bad QWERTY is, the power of layers, and the potential of custom keymaps, last time we took the first real step by examining your options for compiling a corpus. As a recap: The corpus is simply a big chunk of text. We use this collection of textual data, often a single text file, to characterize your typing habits (calculating various language statistics), and feed it directly or indirectly as an input into layout optimization algorithms – to find the optimal keymap for you! Today we’ll expand on this idea by exploring your options if, like me, you prefer a personalized corpus rather than grabbing some general (and mostly irrelevant) data available online. Image 1: Letter frequencies – the most basic use of corpora – in this very post We've seen that a well-crafted, personalized corpus plays a key role in determining the outcome of the optimization process. We've also explored...

Pros: Impressive fit, perfect anodizing finish and color. Feels solid and heavy, much better than the plastic case.
Cons: 1. The aluminum feet raise the back too high and make the front edge of the case scrape the desk's surface. 2. The supplied white adhesive 3M "feet" pads don't help with the aluminum feet (unless you put them right at the front edge of the case - see picture below. 3. I'll probably need to remove the aluminum feet an just use the 4 white adhesive pads. 4. The supplied adhesive pads should've been black (not white). 5. The original felt pad inside the Leopold case can't be used in the aluminum case (it makes it too thick).
In summary, it's a great case. Don't bother ordering the "feet" - they suck on this case. Pads should be black.
