I used to type about 100 WPM on a QWERTY keyboard, but I decided that I really like having long acrylic nails much more than I like typing fast. So I moved to doing everything on my tablet for about six months while I waited for my CharaChorder to come in the mail. It's been about six or seven months since I started using it 100% of the time, and I don't practice very much. I type about 40 WPM with it and only know about 30 chords. I don't mind this at all because typing speed was never my goal 😂

I love how comfortable my hands are while typing, and when I do get to use a chord that I know well, it feels really cool! Also, it's super quiet! I use my CharaChorder for playing games like Minecraft, Tetris, Ghostbusters, Cities: Skylines, and really any game that allows me to remap the keys. I'm not a serious gamer, so I almost never run into serious game-breaking problems. I do wish there was a way to toggle the keys to have things like WASD where I set them for games. It would save the three minutes I spend remapping things after I first start a game, lol.

I never feel rushed because there's no one but me rushing me to type quickly. If I go at my comfortable pace, I almost never miss the key I'm looking to type. I just know where they are. Most of the chords I know I learned pretty naturally, just going after the easy ones. I can easily see someone growing up with this, typing really efficiently.

One of the gray key things falls off about twice a week, and I don't know why. It's okay though because it pops back on pretty easily. As long as the company is around, I'll probably keep using CharaChorder products forever! 😊

Hey @night pasture I am glad you are loving your device but that last bit concerns me, lol. Have you talked to CharaChorder support? Keys shouldn't be falling off! Lol glad you love it though

This is awesome! I love your honest review 😊. It's nice to see someone not so obsessed over speed, for a change, lol! You're gonna have to post a pic of your nails cuz now we all want to see them 🤣.

And, yes, those little knobs shouldn't be falling off. When you get a chance, feel free to contact support and they'll set you up to receive a replacement. And, in case you're concerned about not have a CC, I do believe they ship first and you send back your defective part once you've received your replacement, that way you don't have to give up using your CC!
