It is probably best to pin down what about the Apex that makes it so uncomfortable to type on. Some things can be mitigated by a palm rest, tilt, positioning.
The magic of programmable keyboards is they are usually easy to flash, and customisable to you. If you feel like a certain layout isn't working for you, try something else. re: the numpad, you can get numpad keyboards and put it wherever comfortable. Arrow keys, a linear hjkl (left down up right) is pretty easy to get used to.
As far as ergonomics is concerned, a split keyboard is probably best. Check out the ergodox EZ!
33yo, studying to be a front-end developer(eyeballing fullstack for the future).
goal is to develop and sell web and mobile solution packages to companies somewhere down the line.
Yeah I've been in contact with their support and i am getting the Panda keyboard and a set of dark grey key caps with black legends with red silent switches. I don't think the ergodox is available with Nordic layout.
I assume Nordic layout is modified ISO (big enter key, '\' next to L-Shift etc)? Ergodox is entirely customisable upto 32 layers. It is not even ANSI (US layout, bleurgh). You can put any key, anywhere.
edit: oops, I assume you mean accents? Maybe this is a system/locale level thing i.e. ctrl+a will always yield the same character

Yeah accents legends characters whatever they are called these days 😝 yeah there is probably a way to program that but since I'm so used to it note and still type a lot in Swedish I'm not ready to move to a US layout yet 😊

it looks like they've got other keycap options that you might like more. en.varmilo.com/pages/visitor/produ...
