put a lot of this in this bad boy
A month ago, I switched from a Moonlander to a Wireless Corne (purchased on typeractive). I'm really struggling.
I can type regular lower and uppercase alphas at 100 WPM, but I'm a software engineer so I use a ton of symbols and a ton of keyboard shortcuts because I try to avoid using my mouse.
I'm 6'2 and have big hands. The thumbs cluster is way too close to the rest of the board. It's really uncomfortable.
There are not enough modifier keys on the bottom row / thumb cluster, so I'm basically forced to use home row mods, which I've spent a lot of time adjusting to and still hate. Idempotency is an important quality for frequently used keys, and home row mods destroy that. It has given me trust issues with my keyboard.
I miss the number row. There are a lot of common keyboard shortcuts that depend on the number row and having to add a layer hold to access them (in addition to whatever modifiers) is really annoying and not worth the slight reduction in keyboard size.
Does anyone find this relatable? Do you recommend a different wireless keyboard with a number row and a thumb cluster more suitable for large hands? I really want to just power through but the struggle is real.
