We're excited to unveil the Thumb Cluster Advisor, a free web app that changes how you design your split-keyboard layout. This tool harnesses the power of AI to generate personalized recommendations for your thumb cluster layout, prioritizing comfort and efficiency without disrupting your muscle memory.
Thumb clusters?
Thumb clusters are a key feature of split keyboards, offering a more ergonomic typing experience by moving frequently used keys closer to your thumbs. By optimizing the thumb cluster layout, you can reduce finger strain and improve typing speed and accuracy.
How the Thumb Cluster Advisor works
The Thumb Cluster Advisor uses exported data from WhatPulse, feeds that into an AI to analyze your key combinations and generate a tailored thumb cluster layout. You'll need to install the WhatPulse app to track your key combinations and export the data for analysis. Rest assured, no personal information is sent to the AI—only key combinations are considered.
