Comment on I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs.

Right now it’s a problem because if I’m in a hurry, I’m tempted to type the old way, or a broken mixture of the two that messes with what I’ve learned. Not good. Gotta slow down and do it right, bah…
Thanks for the recommendations, I’m gonna put a 3d printed split board on my list of things I’ll definitely get to some day and totally won’t get pushed off the back of the furthest back burner lol

Lol. For context, it took me maybe two weeks to get back up to full speed on a new typing layout. When I moved to Germany they moved some keys around on standard qwerty and it took me a couple of days.
If you’re already touch typing I think most changes are easy to adapt to and don’t overwrite previous muscle memory. Your brain is powerful, believe it is and it will work.

That’s good to know, thanks! I’m still just learning to touch type. I spent a few decades typing fast enough but always looking at the keys. This year I’ve started learning touch typing, I’m only a half dozen hours in, so still pretty new.
But when I get good I’ll take this into consideration! Thanks!
