Building customizable ergonomic keyboards (Interview)

Let me ask you a question. If that's the way you do it, right? You've got this modified way, maybe even it's muscle memory because you do it daily. Sure. And we're hanging out at a conference and I'm like, okay, there is a hop on my machine real quick and do something. Are you, do you have to like unwire your brain to transpose back to a normal keyboard?

But you said it's weird and different, and yet we're saying the word normal. At least I am. I think you are too, Jared. A keyboard? I don't want to assume.
