- Epa095 2y agoOhhh I have been low-key thinking of getting that one, but it's a bit expensive:-/ How do you find it? Was it hard to get going? Comfortable? Fast?
- ilc 2y agoHow do I find it: Daily driver for 9 months now, no regrets, love the board, and I've probably paid more for mine than anyone other than the creator :). Hard to get going: I'm an ex-DataHand user. It was near instant for me. Took me a few hours to make the dvorak map usable for my old muscle memory. I made the dvorak map a pretty exact emulation of the OG Dvorak DH. The adjustment time is real for most users. I've seen Injured highly motivated, injured users, move across in a weekend or two. Most people take 2-3 weeks? It really isn't bad considering the very well proven DH injury help. Comfortable: It isn't your normal board... You make it what you need for comfort. There are different hand rests in the community, etc. I persoonally use a pair of gel wrist rests as my palm rests. I find them very comfy, :) Fast: People are over 100 wpm. I am not a fast typist. I'm only 60-70 WPM usually, And I can hit it on sval. The big thing I'd say is: Svalboard is more of a journey to your answer, than just a packaged answer, I'd also think about getting a 3D Printer if you don't have one. (I have 2 around, an A1 Mini and P1S.) Join the discord... the folks are friendly... and you'll find me there, as well as other users, etc, Don't be afraid to to own your journey... I do not miss the other boards,,, and if your said "use one board." Svalboard is it for me I'm done.
