It has been around a year since I changed both #keyboardLayout to #Dvorak and converted to a #splitKeyboard from a conventional #qwerty full size.
From time to time, I took some #MonkeyType #tests, to see the progress in my #typing speeds and accuracy. I thought that sharing my stats might help someone which is wondering if they should take a similar road
For reference, I was before typing at a speed around 100-120 wpm, but my wrist was hurting so much that I was fearing I couldn't longer type in the long run... so it is a win for me, even if now I'm (for the moment) slower Unfortunately, I started using MonkeyType with an account only after I changed the keyboard, and didn't think of taking a screenshot before... I regret it so much, so if you are doing something similar, please take at least a screen of your previous data but having a fresh account gives a bit of dopamine when it shoots confetti to notify you of an improvement It's more like wanting to improve, and less about trying to compete with your older self.
#Keyboard is a #ZSA #Moonlander in Dvorak layout, tilted and rotated to the outside instead of the usual inside (i find it more comfortable and natural) and with the halves widely spaced.
I use the computer e.day, for most of the day doing video-editing, 3D, moderation, some coding, a lot of chatting, study... needless to say, I have exercised every day for the past year
And yes, I can still use a qwerty keyboard (maybe because of the shock therapy change), but don't like typing on it!
I would love to hear your story too!!
