New Keyboard

New Keyboard

I got myself a new keyboard yesterday! If you are interested in seeing what it looks likes on their website, you can find that here. I've been using split keyboards for a number of years now but never anything like this. As I type this, I'm using the new keyboard. For right now, it's kind of painful; not in the physical sense but more on the fact that I am basically having to completely retrain how I type. It's not going to be an overnight thing after typing on fairly regular QWERTY keyboards for a little over 2 decades. My overall accuracy is obviously way down right now because things are in a different layout (particularly, the columnar layout is throwing me off at the moment) and my overall speed is WAY down by comparison. I'm going to keep this post fairly short but will update in a couple weeks once I've had a chance to properly give this a fair chance.

I know the price is likely going to put a lot of people off of it too, which is fair. It's certainly not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. It does feel really nice though and once I get used to the layout and my typing speed and accuracy return, I think this will be a great improvement over what I had previously. The biggest thing for me right now is to focus on building up the new muscle memory with this one and working my way back. Considering I spend a good chunk of my day typing, my hope is that won't take too long.
