I made a small tool to check if I actually use all the keys on my keyboard before switching to 60%
Hi! I made a small Python tool called KeyRecord.
I’m thinking about switching to a 60% keyboard, but before doing it I wanted to check if I actually use all the keys on my current keyboard, or if I only think I do.
The tool records my real key usage locally and helps me see which keys I use the most, which ones I barely touch, and whether moving to a smaller layout makes sense for me.
It does not connect to the internet, it does not upload anything, and it does not save words, sentences, passwords or text content. It only counts key presses locally.
Right now it supports ANSI and ISO Spanish layouts, because those are the ones I tested, but adding other layouts should be simple.
It’s mostly a personal experiment, and also a way for me to learn GitHub properly: commits, README, releases and documentation.
For people using smaller keyboards or custom layouts: what stats would be useful before switching to 60%?
Key frequency? Modifier usage? Shortcuts? Per-app usage? Layer planning?
