Re-cluttering my desk

I have my new keyboard. In the end we ordered a big and fancy one: it is divided in the middle and has dozens of odd buttons that I'm not very likely to use. It also has handrests. I could probably lie down and go to sleep on it,,,

I'm thinking about a modmap for programming, with brackets placed more conveniently (for example). But perhaps I should simply learn to keep my right hand to the right and left to the left first.
