Hey folks, me again.
Those of you who went from a larger keyboard to a smaller one that required the use of layers: was the transition hard? Could you still type on the old keyboard after?
Context: I was asking the other day about which ortholinear to get for commuting. Although the glove80 is the closest to my current home desktop keyboard, I’ve ruled it out as I don’t think it will fit in my backpack. If it does, it will take up too much space.
So I’m looking at something like the voyager, but with such a small keyboard, there will be a learning curve. I’m used to ortholinear, but I’ve never used layers. And if I manage to adapt, it’d be nice to still be able to use my desktop keywell keyboard at home.
Thoughts?
My strategy was to make a mental note of where my fingers expected the key to be and then map them to a layer later. That was I wasn’t working against already engrained muscle memory. It helps to have layer themes too. I have alpha, numbers, and coding symbols.
