Got my keyboard

Got my Kinesis Keyboard today. Kind of weird. Definitely going to lead to better typing habits on my part since when you try to cheat at typing you end up striking the wrong key completely. The most obvious way this is manifesting itself is when I try to strike "c" and end up hitting "v". This specific instance of trouble stems from me having a bad habit of shifting my left hand over a key when trying to strike the bottom row of keys.

I am also going to have to start using the proper shift based on which side of the keyboard I am typing on.

The other big adjustment is going to be from using my thumbs for space, backspace, return, ctrl, and alt. Oh, and the arrow keys are now directly below my fingers so hitting them is now easier.

So far adjusting for backspace and space is not a problem. Space probably comes naturally since that always already done with my thumb, but now it is just where my thumb rests. As for the backspace, that is coming along thanks to having to use it so often. =)
