You save money but what kind of life is that?
On Windows.. I get a US only bare bone Dvorak layout and few ways to remap the caps/ctrl keys. Messing with the registry is at best annoying on my gaming (only) PC but impossible on a corporate locked down desktop. Then I'm lucky if the corporate package repo comes with AutoHotkey that can remap keys in a very hacky way.
A lot of Windows 98 still shines through in the basic usability suite even on the newest versions of Windows. Even the on-screen keyboard on a (Android) phone is more fun than the HID mess in Windows.
This would be an upgrade as at least I would kinda trust that a file I found on my own system from the vendor can probably be trusted. I trust the options would be at least mostly self documenting (more self documenting than a random list of hex digits). And, if I'm going to use software written in the 90s, I'm going to go with good old vim.
As I'm not typing them frequently I'm happy with a Compose key binded to Scroll Lock.
