I’m just a newb when it comes to high grade keyboards, but these things look wild, and I kind of want to try one.

    As a fellow Colemak user who has used other layouts in the past, I have to wonder how many of the issues I have with my keyboard now are because of Colemak, since I didn’t seem to have them with Dvorak or Workman.

    But maybe I’m just salty that my WPM never recovered fully after switching.

      Uh oh I’m getting that keyboard itch again. I think my max qwerty was higher my normal was fine, like 100-110 is my comfort zone. Colemak was so fluid, and I do still get RSI if I type a lot of my non-custom layout qwerty…

      Maybe a good christmas present for myself.

        Any PCB that’s compatible with QMK firmware (and maybe others, but QMK is easy & the most well-known) should be able to be flashed with any layout, so even if you get tired of Colemak, you can change it to whatever you want. :)

        Edit: You can also get hot-swap sockets that allow you to change your switches without desoldering anything.
