It did take some getting used to - its not exactly a perfect layout - but actually after a week I don't even think about it any more and type on it comfortably.

Its a sort of similar experience to the jarring discord that would happen back in the day when one moved from, say, a Hazeltine terminal to a Burroughs, lol ..
I'm mostly using this machine to develop Lua apps - but I think if I was using a curly-brace language, I'd probably be cursing like a demon for a few days until the muscle memory circuits reconfigure themselves.
- ekianjo 9y agoHow does it compare with a Psion keyboard of the old days? How comfortable is it for typing for extended periods of time?
- mmjaa 9y agoI'm at the point where I don't even notice any more, and can use the keyboard all day. But for the first 3 weeks I was seriously cursing and bringing down the house of hades on the designers for making such curious decisions as to the placement of ; and {} and so on .. however, with practice, I've become very used to the keyboard and no longer even really care. I do have to state, however, that I've been at the computer game longer than a lot of people (4 decades, almost 5), and I've had this keyboard-adjustment-period factor many times in my life, so its not a deal-breaker when things get churlish.
