And surprisingly it’s going pretty well. I’m late to the fad I think, but only a few weeks ago I thought it was bananas to not have arrow keys. Then I learned about the whole tiny-keyboard world, and decided to go for it.

The keyboard I’m using is a Ferris Sweep, which as free and open hardware you may produce yourself.

At the moment I have 9 layers, 7 of them in frequent use. The learning process has been surprisingly not bad. And using QMK I have tweaked the key map a lot already.

If you use a computer a lot, say for your job, it’s worth optimizing how you interact with it.

    Love it, but I’ve used chorded keyboards for a while now, there’s a bit of a learning curve with them but once you get the hang your WPM can increase significantly
