I just built this Ergodone over the weekend to replace the JJ40 Planck that I use at work. I really needed the number / symbol row, since I still have trouble remembering where the symbols are even after using the Planck for two years.

I actually use the Colemak layout, but I leave the keycaps as qwerty, since admin level powershell only likes qwerty, and some of the remote servers I go into don’t retain my keyboard settings. Then I can just look down and see where the keys are.

    Hell yeah! Welcome to the split side! 🥳

    If you want your keymap to be Colemak always and everywhere, you can change your keymap keyboard-side instead of pc-side. That way your PC won’t notice you’re not using Qwerty ;)

      Thanks! Yeah, I might have to try that and see. There are a few tweaks that I already want to do from using it all day today, namely repositioning the arrow keys. I’m going to bring my personal computer to work with me tomorrow and fiddle around with it.
