do you feel that it’s actually that much more efficient (like their gh page says) than, say dvorak, or it is hard/too early to tell?
it promises much better energy efficiency than dvorak and much better same hand usage statistics, which sounds very cool, but as very often with custom, especially new, layouts, it has very good theoretical performance, but in real life usage it turns out that there’s some previously unforeseen flaw deal breaker
the author says they learned the layout themselves, but doesn’t say whether he knew any other layout other than qwerty…

Hard to say… I’m fairly sold on it because it uses both real world hand distance measurements, and a genetic algorithm to not only find the best keyboard layout possible, but to score existing ones. Its def more comfortable than dvorak or qwerty, but I also haven’t tried colemak-dh or some of the other ones ppl like a lot.
The main thing I’ve learned is that while these alternate layouts don’t make you type faster, they do make things more comfortable.
heh, never heard about this
