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.
only write on it from now on, and it will slowly but surely become second nature
This is what I'm doing right now. Hence my very short replies.
keep it up 👍🏻
