I've found that the annoying thing with these floating split keyboards is that you don't develop the muscle memory because the keys are always in a slightly different position each time it moves around.
You need a bracket to keep the halves in exactly the same spot every time when you're in split mode in order to get that muscle memory.
- fleaaaa 5y agoThere's homing h/j key for it, though I rarely need it.
- ruffrey 5y agoI had this problem. Bought some small rubber bump things for home row keys. Quite easy now.
- hossbeast 5y agoI don't have a problem with it. The muscle memory takes wrist orientation into account possibly?
- StephenJGL 5y agoI would recommend a Microsoft Sculpt if you want the split without the hassle.
- Agingcoder 5y agoI have a kinesis edge for the same reason.
- toxik 5y agoI partially agree, if you’ve moved your hands away it can be difficult to “relocalize”. It’s not that big a deal though, I find. My main problem now is that I want Apple level low travel (and low profile) but also split. Guess I’ll wind up building my own eventually.
- __mharrison__ 5y agoThat hasn't been my experience. (Sample size one). I also use the Norman layout on my ErgoDox, but Qwerty on normal keyboards. Hasn't really been an issue (other than learning Norman).
- bee_rider 5y agoThe position is not a huge issue for me, but I have to get the rotation just right to avoid missing keys.
