I'm currently using a Kyria and basically reduced it to the size of the Ferris. There is just one thing, that I did different and which makes the layout extremely more usable: I moved the upper pinky keys to the position right and left, respectively, of the pinky home position. On QWERTY layout, I moved the P to the position right of the ; key (i.e. the ' key) on the right side. On the left side, I moved the Q key left to the A key (i.e. the Capslock).
From a usability point of view this is ingenious, although it makes the keyboard wider. What do you think of this modification? Probably it is just me not being able to reach the upper pinky columns comfortably...
