Hey there,
I’ve been doing a lot of typing lately on my shitty old Compaq keyboard (it has a good build quality, but keys require relatively much force to be pressed) and I experience some discomfort in my fingers.
Would anybody suggest any specific keyboard or keyboard type that would help me ease the strain? I know absolutely nothing about keyboards lol!
Thanks, I can finally feel like my grandma when trying to figure out which key to press. That’s fun (it really is).
Lol yeah but no it definitely is fun especially when you have to confuse IT people with your weird requests
I hope you didn’t take it the wrong way, I really meant that I enjoy learning it. I decided to go with Colemak, though.
That’s fair. I never did much research on Colemak but no keyboard layout is right for everyone. You’re trying a more human focused layout though. I’m happy whenever anyone does that. Dvorak nerds are like linux nerds that way, we just want people to ask questions and decide on the tools that are actually right for them instead of what’s just the default.
Good luck with the pain!
Edit: ok it looks like a good compromise between design goals. I’m still grateful I have my tap-tap switch hand pattern and vowel row, but I absolutely understand why people would be drawn to it
