For me, moving to a programmable keyboard and using a non-QWERTY keyboard has 100% been worth it
- fsckboy 3y agoAZERTY (french) keyboards made some unimportant choices which just turned out horribly over time. I can't remember exactly but in the age of MSWindows and the internet, characters like \\ and @ (I think) were just buried away so deeply. I have a number of French friends who can't deal, they just use QWERTY keyboards.
- dadoum 3y agoIt has one clever design choice that nobody followed though: the fact that numbers are not wasting a full row of your keyboard without modifiers. Like, if I want to type a number I can start by pressing shift then typing the number, while all the braces I want to use are separated, and on a lot of layouts this implies using Shift which is annoying. (Or use the numpad, one more reason to not give them that much importance on the keyboard)
