Three more Svalboards went into the world this week! - LemmyWorld

I call this one Daisy ;) This set went to a user in Alabama. Units also shipped to Poland and Eureka CA. So hype for more feedback from early users! Current build queue is a couple weeks long, feel free to jump in if you want one! Svalboard is my Datahand style small-volume production keyboard – I build every one by hand here in Pacifica, CA. Learn more at [www.svalboard.com [http://www.svalboard.com]] and come check out the Datahand/Svalboard/lalboard discord https://discord.gg/kqNhKjxca where we geek out about this stuff!

You guys really hate traditional typing methods, eh?
Once you try a different keyboard, and like it, you wonder what else you’ve been missing out on.
I wish I could but man, I can’t even get used to a Xbox style controller for gaming, much less a different keyboard layout. More power to ya tho. I may not understand it, but the boards y’all pump out are novel.
Most of the weird-looking keyboards have the same QWERTY layout. If you can touch type, they don’t take long to get used to. I personally don’t get the people that change their keyboards to DVORAK or COLEMAK (Not sure why I shout those names, just the way I tend to write them). More power to them, but I think if I changed the layouts like that it would take me months to get back up to speed.
For me swapping to Colemak was mostly comfort as you move your fingers way less. Plus I never actually learned how to touch type on QWERTY anyway, so if I was going to have to learn why not something that’s just better hahaha. If I was comfortable on QWERTY and could touch type I probably wouldn’t have swapped.
