I feel like it'd take a lot of effort, but I'm up for the challenge. Plus, it'd stop people at work from messing with my computer, haha. How does your typing speed compare to qwerty since you switched?
About comparable now, but it probably takes 2 months to get up to speed, some people become even faster after getting used to it, but I don't think that's the case for me. It probably takes about a week or so before it feels completely "normal" though, so you can expect some annoyance at that.
Yeah I bet. I'm hesitant to do it, especially with classes resuming tomorrow haha.
Yeah, if you really need to be able to type fast you are not going to be happy with changing layouts. Imagine you had to learn how to type all over again, that's what it feels like. If you can live with that, you may find it's worth it, your fingers will become way less stressed. I used to have real pain from my job with computers, but with the setup I described it no longer causes me any issues at all. It really has been a good change.
Well if it helped then more power to you. Typing hasn't really ever seemed to cause stress on my hands, it is more so the mouse.
Yeah I can really imagine it to be. I'm glad you found something that works for you though.
