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.

    I use Colemak. The issue is not learning the layout really, although it does take some time. The issue is now your QWERTY ability is gone so you look like a caveman any time you have to type on a device that isn’t yours. It took me just as much time to forget Colemak and go back to QWERTY.

    However, I recently decided to learn Colemak while switching back to QWERTY intermittently to be able to use both. I guess I still have the muscle memory since I’m learning it much quicker this time, but my QWERTY is still perfectly fine.

    tl;dr work is boring so im melting my brain with multiple keyboard layouts lol

      I got a Sofle V2 and committed to using Colemak DHm on it. Typing’s a bit awkward but relatively fluid on both keyboards, since split keyboard muscle memory is slightly different.

      Not very good at mod layering myself, but it’s been a pretty fun time. Only kind of sucks when my split is plugged in and I boot up a game and my character just backs off a cliff cuz it’s not WASD.
