    Wow. First post I can actually contribute to!

    Yes, I have ordered a keyboard from keebart. I ordered the 3w6 and asked on his discord for some custom changes. He helped me with the customization and gave me a few options to choose from.

    I wasn’t really too precise in what I wanted but keebart was really good in giving me exactly what I wanted.

    Really happy customer. I picked it up in person and the response times on his discord are incredibly quick.

      That keyboard looks pretty sweet. When coming from a “regular” keyboard, what’s the learning curve like?

        It depends. (Yeah I know I hate when people say that, too)

        I first started my mechanical keyboard journey with an olkb Planck. That keyboard is already ortholinear but also a round about 40% keyboard.

        Getting used to the size took some practise. I used it for a while as a hobby keyboard. I used monkeytype to increase my precision about 10 minutes a day and after about a week I was already pretty good. I can still remember being proud of myself when I first hit 60 wpm. After a month I was at 80 to 90 wpm.

        With the 3w6 it did not take that long. Probably 2 weeks. It is my daily driver and I can recommend it. Especially if you have some shoulder pain or underarm stiffness/soarness.

        Biggest issues are non standard/non US letters. But there are ways to work around it. Vial or QMK let you customize everything and are easy enough to use.

        If you want some more info do not hesitate to contact me!
