Hello everyone,
for the longest time i have said, that the ergonomic benefit of Dvorak is not worth the hassle of learning a new layout. Since then i received my atreus. Since the default qwerty layout is far from optimal for my needs, i started to shuffle things around. I soon realised, that it is not that easy... So i thought, since the atreus comes with a hardware Dvorak mode, i would give it a fair shot this time. Since no OS changes are needed, it is convenient to do. I just flashed the layout, put the key map on my second monitor and started typing.
After one hour of typing tests, i could remember nearly all keys. I went down from my usual 80 wpm to around 8 wpm
Today, one day later i start to see improvements. Im back up to 20 wpm. I feel like i gain speed much faster than i did with qwerty back than
Right now i feel like i might have not done this layout justice in the past... I hope to get back to 40 wpm by the end of the week
I will report back in this thread on reaching further milestones
It took me around 50 minutes to write this up. So let me know how your switch to a new layout went and how long it took you to gain reasonable speed again
