In case you're landing here...
I’m sharing updates on my journey switching keyboard layouts, from standard QWERTY to something called Colemak-dh which is designed with an optimal key layout based on the most popular words in English.
You can read more about it here.
Thoughts
- ironically, stuck on R, S, T
- with every new key added, R is the first to dip…then R causes S to dip
- you can see the near 50% distribution of success/failures in the last image
- it takes almost 2-3 days to retrain a new letter and still maintain previous keys
- starting to see some cool 55wpm top speeds!
