    I like it a lot, but as you say it takes a lot of getting used to and practice. I don’t think my WPM is near what it is on a regular keyboard, but we’re talking a few weeks of use versus 30 years of muscle memory … I’m gradually switching over to the Glove. Funnily enough I write better on it when I’m not thinking about it at all.

      I’m in the same boat with the muscle memory. Never tested my official speed, but I’ve had several people comment that it sounds like I’m just smashing the keys down, but I’m actually typing. Don’t really want to give that speed up, but I don’t want that shoulder pain more…
