New(er) to the trend, and I was just curious if there were any particular uses for when one key profile is better ergonomically/functionally/etc or if it’s always more just an aesthetic/preference reason
One idea comes to my mind pretty quick. If you’re not using qwerty or have an unusual layout, keybinds for certain apps turns into a sudden project. It would definitely affect gamers who frequently switch games and rely heavily on default keybinds and standard keyboard layouts. Just switching to a basic qwerty layout for gaming would simplify that quite a lot

This … I’ve been a Dvorak typist for 15+ years. I have a querty layer for gaming, and a second Dvorak layer for when I switch from Windows to MAC so that I can use my same single key chords (cut / copy / paste / undo / redo / etc).
For me it’s just aesthetic; I’ve used OEM (and OEM-like) profiles, XDA and SA. I’ve not found one to be definitely better than the others. There’s definitely some differences to noise, but noise is something I don’t care about.
I switched over from using a Happy Hacking Keyboard after two or three years and really enjoyed having the left control key in place of the Caps Lock key. So, my main profile has that set up.
