Moonlander

I am buying a Moonlander Ergonomic keyboard, and I was curious if for ergonomic keyboards, ColemakDHk, or ColemalDHm is "better". For me, the main aim is to have the most ergonomic and comfortable layout not the fastest.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies

Definitely Colemak-DHm (which is the standard Colemak-DH) is the right one to use.

DHk is pretty much legacy, and should only be chosen (if at all) on traditional keyboards.

There is really only one standard now, it's DH (which equals DHm).

Thanks!

I found it uncomfortable to press K and V on Moonlander Mark I with my index fingers. It was easier to press them with thumbs, but instead I moved these keys to the right column where / and ? originally are.

I will try that out!

I'm making a typing trainer with support of this layout, you can try it out here: https://www.typing.men

Ooo, I really wouldn't recommend that. Colemak has fairly common letters (A and O) on pinkies, but nothing that creates frequent same-finger bigrams with them. The pinky has no big problems pressing those keys, but jumping up and down for SFBs is another matter entirely. Nope, I would not do that.

@DreymaR, what do you thing about placing K and V under E and I (HKV)?
