I’ve been typing on a split ortholinear keyboard for four weeks. After a rocky start, I’ve now got the hang of it.

I’ve got myself into a bit of a pickle. For the past few weeks, I’ve been typing exclusively on the Sol 3, a split ortholinear keyboard. Instead of having staggered keys, the keys are organised into a grid layout. It’s also split down the middle. In this video, I reveal how I fared with it and whether I’ll continue only using this keyboard. Just click the wheel icon for English subtitles.
