Finally got my smartboard today. Initial impressions are that it feels better than the Maxim, but is a little bit harder to use like the concave kinesis. The key layout is actually quite similar to that one, and requires you to hit the ‘c’ with the middle finger of your left hand. I had gotten used to that when I was training on the kinesis, but I guess I had regressed while using the Maxim. It’s hard for me to believe that all the Unix users out there type ‘cd’ with two taps of their middle finger instead of a index finger/middle finger combination.
Oh well. It feels like I’m learning it pretty fast already, so should be really good in a few days. The keyboard feet in the front are very helpful. Every keyboard should have those.
