My first ever bulid and I’m so excited! It’s not trivial to build a perfect keyboard just from parts you can order in Europe. This is one doesn’t look exactly how I imagined it but I love it anyway. If anyone is interested - it’s a Sofle Choc V3 kit from 42. Keebs.

The first few days were a bit hard but after just a week of using it I was able to beat my monkeytype high score. I’m still not really fluid in using it for programming and vim in general though.

    Muscle memory needs some time, especially for symbol stuff. Don’t hesitate to tweak your mappings, I’ve made some changes at some point which made things a whole lot more workable. I started with Miryoku which was completely unsuitable for the PHP work I was doing back then, to mention something, and moving the number cluster to the right hand rather than left did miracles for my day to day work as well.
