Marv: sorry to disappoint, but I didn’t actually make the switch to Colemak in the end. I gave up when I reinstalled Windows on my laptop and I decided not to continue with the Colemak experiment, mainly because it too was making my wrists sore. I wasn’t using Colemak proper anyway mind you — I had hacked it a bit on Ubuntu to make a UK version that kept the Caps Lock key, which I do actually find pretty useful, believe it or not.

Ironically, I’ve now ended up typing Dvorak again, and this time I think it’s finally clicked once and for all…

They’re expensive but I’ve had no soreness since and I’ll never go back to a regular keyboard.

Dvorak is good, and I loved using it when I found out about it, but if I had learned about Colemak before Dvorak, I would have probably switched to Colemak sooner. It’s much easier to switch to for existing QWERTY typist.

Although trying to learn Colemak from Dvorak was a pain, I never regret having done it.

Well, I hope you success in your Colemak journey!
