I got so very used to the #Model01 thumb arc, that I have trouble typing on my #Atreus, I keep hitting the wrong keys with my thumb, as they expect the arc to be there.

Talking about wrong keys... I just moved the `RAISE` and `LOWER` keys on the #Atreus from a pinky position to somewhere where I can hit them with my thumb. This feels a whole lot better now. Oddly enough, I no longer seem to have trouble finding my way around the bottom row now, either.Small changes in layout can do wonders. So much so, that I'm writing this on the #Atreus, not even using my cheat-sheet, at a reasonable speed too.

Talking about #keyboard things, I think I have my third favourite switch: Cherry MX Silent Reds. I would have never thought I'd like a linear switch, but these are so incredibly quiet on this board, that it makes up for the lack of tactility.My #1 switch is still Matias Quiet Click, followed by Gateron Browns. But the third is a linear.What's next? Clicky switches? If I ever say I like clicky switches, please put me out of my misery.

@algernon How do you feel about Topre-style?

@tjk I don't have much data about Topre switches. Only typed on some for 15 minutes or so, didn't feel "whoa", but 15 minutes is... not much.Mind you, for Topre to be a viable candidate for me, it would need to be on a keyboard I'm willing to use =) (split, with open source firmware as a start)
