I’m typing this with my new ergo keeb right now. Holy fuck it is hard. I cannot seem to be able to hack my brain, I’ve spent 2 WEEKS desperately trying to learn the first SIX MOST FUCKIN COMMON LETTERS and I’m still completely unable to use them even remotely quickly or reliably. I am completely unable to even break the 70% confidence line on keybr on I,E,S and R despite hours of efforts. Worse, now my accuracy goes steadily down the toilet even if I slow down to a grind in an attempt to improve it.

I fuckin suck at this. It is despair and rage inducing. How the fuck do you manage to even learn new layouts?

I spent almost an hour typing this fuckin message.

But hey at least my keyboard looks awesome.

Edit: it seems using keybr is actually damaging my progress instead of helping. I’m switching to another tool.

Edit2: after a few days on monkeytype I’m up to 17 WPM and 91% accuracy in french, up from 4 WPM and almost negative accuracy. Not great BUT it’s still a big win for me. I mostly know my layout now, except for the dev layer. I can only progress from now.

        Après environ 3 semaine à l’utiliser au travail j’arrivais à écrire plutôt normalement. Et j’avais swtich en même temps au Colemak. À un moment t’a un déclic de surprise à te voir réussir sans y penser et c’est légendaire

          Ça commence à marcher pour certaines lettres que j’arrive à taper sans réfléchir, la sensation est assez incroyable en effet 😅

          Pour l’instant quasiment chaque frappe est encore un effort conscient et délibéré, surtout après une erreur.
