My daily driver setup. Using clamps like this allows me to mount to the chair without having to drill into it (or any other permanent modification like that). My biggest complaint about this setup is the USB cable reaching from the chair to the computer. I always need to be aware of where the cable is when rotating the chair and whatnot.

    Hardcore. How long did it take you to get used to this setup? I feel like I’m playing on progress on my cornes and still need to switch to my regular keyboard sometimes for special characters :/

      Maybe a few weeks of use after hours before I felt proficient enough to use it at work. Adapting to it is simpler than adapting to a different key layout (ex. QWERTY to Dvorak). I really recommend the Svalbr training web app! It helps you focus on the keys that you are struggling with.

      A Svalboard-specific fork of the amazing Keybr.com to help you learn any layout, from the default to the most Svalboard-optimized Hands Down variants.

      Svalbr lets you load your own alpha layout on a Svalboard Lightly visualization to guide you through the learning process for any layout. It highlights the letter to strike, and shows you a heat map of your hit/miss rates on a per-key basis so you can fine-tune your fit and choose test material to drill on weak points.
