A software engineer shares their experience switching to the Corne V4 split keyboard after suffering from wrist and hand pain. The post covers the adjustment period (dropping to 15-30 WPM initially), the column-staggered layout benefits, custom key layout configuration using layers for numbers and symbols, Neovim-specific optimizations like moving Escape near home row, and the long-term outcome: eliminated wrist pain and improved typing speed by ~30 WPM. Includes honest advice on who should and shouldn't consider a split keyboard (not recommended for heavy Blender users).
