My Keychron Q8 Pro in its final form (lemmy.world)

Keychron Q8 Pro
Gazzew U4Tx + a couple of Kailh Box Navy switches
MTNU Beige keycaps (lovely new profile, GMK made double-shot PBT, expensive - even more due to Colemak)

I bought the keyboard immediately when I found out they made a BT version of the Q8 (I use a Q10 daily at the office), as I was looking for an iPad compatible one. Very happy with it!

Sold on the concept but like, what's the transition like really? Have your muscles forgotten qwerty at all?

Yes I indeed forgot QWERTY after these few months exclusively using Colemak! But I never learned touch typing with QWERTY to begin with, so there's that. I read that you can train and keep both layouts memorised, but I just went all in. Who knows if I will ever have to learn QWERTY again in the future, I for sure hope not :)
