- noir_lord 11y agoUsed to think that until I used a Ergo 4000 and within a week once the swearing stopped I realised I was never reaching over the river in the middle. It also completely solved all the pain I was having in my arms and wrists so while I miss the key feel of my mechanical keyboard a little bit I wouldn't go back. Something like this might be interesting though.
- melling 11y agoHuh? I would think the ultimate hacker would use their tools with a bit of precision. Developers who use vim, for example, count the keystrokes: http://vimgolf.com http://vimgolf.com https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion
- rhinoceraptor 11y agoIt's not as bad as it seems to make the switch. I switched from a regular QWERTY layout to an ErgoDox. It's split, and it's a columnar keyboard whereas standard keyboards are staggered like a typewriter. It took me a week or two be able to touch type comfortably, and now I can switch back and forth without too much trouble.
