I have the same keyboard. It's amazing. I was used to QWERTY on a standard keyboard, but switched to Colemak Mod-DH for the Corne. I've been using it for two years, and my posture has never been better. Neither have I lost my proficiency in QWERTY. Currently, I type at about 50wpm on a standard keyboard and >100wpm on the corne.
It took me about four months to really get used to it, and even longer to type without looking at it (about six months).
- scaradim 3y agohow old are you?
- precompute 3y agoEarly 20's. I think I could have become proficient at it sooner, but I used a "cheat sheet" (printed my layout for reference) and got used to looking at the reference while typing, which is a habit that took a while to kick. Otherwise, most of the time was spent actually learning how to touch type, because on a regular keyboard I'd never bothered to learn it, and instead typed however I'd picked it up over the years. Besides, when you're using an ergonomic keyboard you should focus on optimizing the layout / shortcuts to your advantage. That usually takes a couple of months, between writing the necessary desktop utilities for usage / modifying your text editor and then using the same to figure out which configuration works the best for you. If it really gels well with you it becomes muscle memory pretty quick.
