I use the stock Mac layout for the one hooked up to my MBP at work. Some of the combos are a little awkward I guess, but I've gotten used to them.

I do wish there were enough thumb keys to have one each of Super/Cmd, Ctrl, and Alt/Opt on each side (without sacrificing one of the pg up/down or home/end keys). I've even written to their support requesting this :/

I find the lack especially problematic on Linux where I really need the Super key to operate i3 or window manager shortcuts and the Ctrl and Alt for IntelliJ and other program shortcuts.

Sounds like we are in the same boat, more or less.. It's strange that there is no community or forum of developers that are also Advantage owners. :-)
