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...

- Using the cable they gave me(always have been)
- Plugging it into different USB ports on my computer
- Turning off the LEDs (that's how I diagnosed it, per support as well)
- Even returned it in exchange for another, and it's still happening.
The top three bullets are what support told me to test, and I did just that. It's no issue if the LEDs are off, but I want them on. Can anyone else with the new CTRL High-profile keyboards fill in on whether or not they are experiencing this? It's happening much more frequently. I'm not sure if it's because of my motherboard being slightly older and not supply enough power, or a keyboard issue.
