I use Colemak as my daily driver, and I find it incredibly difficult to switch back and forth with QWERTY. The muscle memory just no longer works. Others say it’s easy for them, so YMMV.
I had such severe wrist pain on QWERTY that the switch wasn’t an option.
- dillydogg 3y agoI just can't imagine trying to switch. I just don't have the time to commit to relearning a new keyboard layout anyways. The home row mods/ortholinear layout are enough of a mental switch for me. I used to have wrist pain from typing, but found when I started to focus on my ergonomics my symptoms improved. (thanks to the hospital ergonomics people for fixing my setup). I use a Planck with laptop and even on a 40% kb you can practice better posture to put less strain on your hands
