    There’s a dude developing out a neat split keyboard that’s ergo but you are typing in like chunks of words or something.

    Looks like your fast af once used to it.

    Each finger goes up down left right i believe. Can’t remember the name!

    It’s quite refined looking.

      Do you mean the CharaChorder? I thought about getting one in the past bit it looks like a super steep learn curve and I’m not sure if I’m willing to subject myself to it.

        YES, thank you.

        My brain was stuck on chroma, which made no sense, lol.

        I thought the exact same thing, but the thing is, i switched to a trackball mouse and I will never go back…

        So some times it’s worth it.

          I grew up with trackballs because my dad preferred them to the old mice with a ball underneath. So for office work I still use one too. But it’s still just a pointing device so I’d say it would be similar to learn using a split keyboard or a dvorak layout or something. You’d still press one key after antother.

          The CharaChorder is so different in the way your “typing” multiple keys at once. I feel like it has such a steep learning curve because you have to not only learn another button layout but the whole way your thinking about typing and writing in general. I’m afraid I’d just get frustrated and never use it, even though I thinks it’s extremely cool.
