Score: 4.7/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 3, Documentation: 4, Utility: 5)

LOFT is a keyboard layout designed to reduce wrist strain and improve typing ergonomics by placing modifier keys under thumbs and using a split-layout approach on standard keyboards. It offers a pragmatic solution for typists, Vim users, and those with repetitive strain injuries, though it is an incremental improvement on existing ergonomic layouts rather than a technical breakthrough.

Target audience: backend devs, writers, devops
