Hey all, I just purchased a Moonlander and after using it for a day, I unplugged it and packed it back up because I noticed my muscle memory on my laptop was already deteriorating!
I want to be an ergomech user, but I also need to frequently use my laptop by itself with a standard keyboard. Is it possible to keep my muscle memory for both? Have any of you had success switching back and forth between a split ergo and a standard keyboard?
Any advice or reassurance is appreciated. This was a massive purchase for me and this issue has me very disheartened at the moment.
I take it from this that you were not able to touch type on a standard keyboard prior to getting the ergo? I can touch type on a staggered board and am worried about losing that ability.
No I didn’t, but I was surprised I haven’t lost the ability to type as I used to on a row staggered keyboard. It might be different adjusting to touchtyping though since they’re basically the same skill just you have to compensate for row stagger… My suggestion would be to not go too long without doing one of the two, that way you can keep your skills honed…
