How was your experience transitioning to an ortholinear keyboard?

While watching this video I received the mail that mine is ready to ship :D Looking so forward to learning this thing

Your jokes are always differents and unexpected every videos, but they always make me laugh. Thanks for that, and great job

I found that playing a typing game that didn't require anything other than letters to be very helpful for learning. In the beginning, as soon as I need to put punctuation, capital letters or even press space bar, I felt like I got completely lost! By just focusing on letters it let me learn the muscle memory for that first, and then eventually I was comfortable enough to start getting used to the thumb clusters and other changes.

I've found ortholinear to be more comfortable, especially during gaming. There's definitely a learning curve, but personally it was worth it.

Epistory is really fun, i was already thinking this will make for fun ortho practice once the Defy arrives.

A third position when switching: I had both keyboards (ortho, a Planck clone, and standard, a Keychron K4) connected, and the standard just above the ortho; just in case I needed for reliable but tricky input, such as symbols or passwords, because I made some "muscle memory" to type them fast (including both numbers, symbols, capitals, etc); and also practicing (monkeytype mainly used).
I had both keyboards connected something like 3 weeks; and in one moment, when I've started to the ortho to type passwords, maybe a bit slow, but at a reasonable pace and in "one shot", I've considered that was enough good for me to just having the ortho keeb on the desk... And never looked back.

there should be a video showing how to make the dygma into a "stenography machine"
as the layout of it kinda seems like it would work well with steno setup.

I recommend trying plover with it, and see how it goes

Good advices! Especially from Space and thumbs keys on. Looking forward from my Dygma Defy!

I am very much looking forward to getting a columnar keyboard. Most likely it will be the Dygma Defy :) (I don't see any other that seems interesting, and it seems very good)

oh no! i had no idea index-c was a no-no! well I guess I know what I gotta cleanup before my board gets here

Reder

Glad to know my Dygma Defy will be on its way .... Yahoo!😀 I will dive right into it when I receive it, I am sure it will not be a problem. Oh, and Dominique please touch my keyboard before shipping it will make it truly unique👍. Muchas gracias! Thank you "Dygma Team" Kudos from NYC🗽. Sprechen sie Deutsch?

The bad habits part speaks to me dealing with a giant laptop keyboard blah

I would’ve liked to hear their experience with switching back and forth between staggered and columnar. As I spend most of my time at the desk, but like the freedom to simply grab my laptop and use it wherever I feel like.
