Polyglot

amazing!
I've been using mine for a year and now use it as my full keyboard, and steno at at 110 wpm. Would recommend also getting f10 key caps as it makes steno a lot more comfortable. Do be warned also that if you don't type on a Qwerty ortholinear keyboard (keys not staggered) that may take a little bit to get used to. And if you don't touch type Qwerty you will also basic need to relearn ha. But the steno is amazing. And also having access to Qwerty means you can game on your steno keyboard, which is hard to do on other nonQwerty steno keyboards.

As someone who had an interest in learning steno, but had no familiarity beforehand, the Polyglot machine has exceeded my expectations. The keyboard itself seems very robust and is very comfortable to use (once I learned how to use it correctly, with my fingers much more curled than how I type on QWERTY). The links in the description are all very helpful. Setting up the keyboard was surprisingly simple, and I'm very happy with the tools that teach steno. I'm still pretty early into my steno journey (two months in), but I have really enjoyed it so far.

The only downside to this keyboard is that typing in the QWERTY mode is a bit more awkward than I would have expected given the shift being pressed with the thumb and the lack of dedicated number buttons, but who is buying this for the qwerty mode anyway. If your getting this for typing English prose exclusively, I would recommend just getting the UNI v4; you will not need the qwerty mode once you learn steno. But if you are planning to do anything else using this keyboard (i.e. coding of any sort, or using this keyboard as the only keyboard for a device you plan to occasionally play games on) then the Polyglot is the machine for you.

Overall I highly endorse this machine, and learning steno is very fun. If your curious, give it a try!

Is there some Polyglot available that have the letter directly written on each key? Please!!!
