TL;DR A normal keyboard sends the scancodes of the keystrokes, and the operating system transforms them into the actual characters according to the keyboard layout settings on it. That's how a normal keyboard can support the input languages supported by the operating system. CC1, CC2 and M4G can also support those languages because their way of sending keystrokes is the same as that a normal keyboard does. When you want CC1, CC2 or M4G to output a symbol on an OS layout other than QWERTY - US, you should set the corresponding symbol (at the same position) on the QWERTY - US layout to the key or the chord output. Some features only work under QWERTY OS layout or English. Default Chord LibraryEnglish-only It only works under the QWERTY OS layout. Startup Text, Generative Text Menu (GTM) and Impulse Chord Menu

在 2022 年時，我的食指和手腕有時會痛，而發現主要原因是來自於鍵盤。我的手比較小，所以我在一般鍵盤打字時會需要移動整隻手，也大部分都使用食指去按鍵。要去改變這近二十幾年的習慣已經幾乎不可能，所以我想一個可能的方法就是換掉鍵盤！我在網路上做了幾次搜尋，（用英文）搜尋過如「不需要使用手的鍵盤」和「腕隧道 鍵盤」等。然後我用「最快的鍵盤」關鍵字，在一個新聞網站找到了 CharaChorder One (CC1)。 （我現在已經不記得這個，但 Google 將永遠記得它...）再進而搜尋 CC1 的一些詳細資料後，我在隔天就買下了它！（2022/07/22, 訂單編號 #1195） 2. 練習，還是直接使用？ 在約兩個月後（2022/09/13），我收到了 CC1，並開始在工作以外的時間練習。練習 CC1 的單字和和弦輸入就像是在享受一個舒服的手指運動。有助於我減緩軟體工程師的打字及工作帶來的手指和心理疲勞。我在 CC1 上的打字在此期間也逐漸加快。我也有幾次嘗試使用 CC1 來工作，因為我知道練習和實際使用之間有很大的不同。但因為那時有很多緊急工作要處理，我也只能在需要加速時換回在一般鍵盤上工作。此外，我也需要練習用 CC1 寫程式和用注音輸入法打中文。兩者都跟純英文打字不同。我真的選到了一條不好走的路，但如果在這裡放棄，我的手最終會被一般鍵盤弄壞。我還想寫更多有用和有趣的程式！憑著這個決心和大量的練習，儘管這期間有很多工作和不好的事情發生，在 2023 年 2 月，我的英文打字速度達到每分鐘 40 字、學了倚天注音，並且開始用 CC1 寫一些小程式。完全改用 CC1 的時候快要到了嗎？ 3. 突發故障及換新 當前途看來一片光明時，這時我不小心弄壞了 CC1 的一個搖桿（我強烈懷疑我有會破壞身邊的電子產品的詛咒），所以我又買了另一台 CC1（訂單編號 #2935, 2023/02/27）。第二台 CC1 在 10 天後就送來了（2023/03/09）。從兩個月進步到 10 天，太棒了！收納盒有一點變化，我感覺搖桿也比第一台更堅固、更容易使用。產品和公司都在成長中！這 10 天的空白確實影響到我的打字速度，但很快地又回歸了。

Last year (2022) some pain occurred sometimes on my index fingers and wrists, and I found out the main problem was the keyboard. I have relatively small hands so I need to move my entire hand to type on a normal keyboard, and keys are hit mostly by my index fingers. It's nearly impossible to change these 20+ years of bad typing habits, so I thought a possible way is changing the keyboard! I did some searches such as no hand keyboard, and carpal tunnel keyboard at that time, and I found the One with the keyword fastest keyboard at a news site. (Of course, I don't remember this now but Google remembers it forever...) I did some search about CC1 and purchased it the next day! (2022/07/22, Order #1195) 2. Training or Using? I received CC1 about two months later (2022/09/13) and started practicing when off-work. Practicing chentry and chord on CC1 is just like enjoying a relaxing finger exercise. It really helps me reduce the finger and mental fatigue caused by typing and programming when working as a software engineer. My typing speed on CC1 slowly grew higher at this time, and I tried to use CC1 at work a few times because I know there is a huge gap between practicing and using it. But I was interrupted by lots of emergency tasks to do at that time so I could not help but switched back to QWERTY when speed is required. Furthermore, I also need to practice programming and typing in my input method of my native language, Chinese Bopomofo (Zhuyin), on CC1. Both are different from pure English typing. Nice, I really chose a really tough road. But my hands will finally get broken by QWERTY if I give up! I still want to write more useful and interesting programs! With this determined mind and lots of practicing, despite lots of tasks and lots of bad things happening at that time, I reached 40 WPM (English typing) this February, learned a layout (Eten Bopomofo, which keys are highly linked to English key so they are easier to memorize) for my language, and started to write some small piece of the program with CC1. The time with full CC1 is coming? 3. Sudden Death and New Comer When everything seems to be fine, I accidentally broke a switch on CC1, (I strongly think I have a curse for breaking any electrical things around me.) so I ordered another CC1. (Order #2935, 2023/02/27) The second CC1 was delivered after 10 days. (2023/03/09) Improving from 2 months to 10 days, wow! The bag changed a little bit and I felt the switch is much stronger and easier to use than the old one. The product and the company are growing! These 10 days without practicing surely caused a drop in my speed at first, but it grew back quickly.

我在 2025 年 3 月 5 日收到我的 Master Forge (M4G)。現在已經學會使用它。（我在 2025 年 7 月 13 日開始寫這篇文章。） 我之前有寫過對 CharaChorder One (CC1) 和 CharaChorder Two (CC2) 的評價。M4G 繼承了它們的一些地方，因此在這篇文章我將會著重在 M4G 與它們有差異的點上。 繼承自 「對 CC1 和 CC2 的評價」 的點 可設定性 和弦輸入 學習曲線 代替滑鼠 CC2 的鍵帽

I received my Master Forge (M4G) on March 5, 2025. I've learned how to use M4G now (I started writing this article with my M4G on July 13, 2025). I had written review articles for CharaChorder One (CC1) and CharaChorder Two (CC2). M4G inherits some parts of them, so in this article, I will focus on the differences between M4G and them. Inherited points from reviews to CC1 and CC2 Configurability Chording Learning Curve Mouse Replacement

Preface I received my first CC1 almost two years ago. (2022/09/13. I started to write this article on 2024/08/05.) I've spent much time on CC1, practicing typing and chording, finding solutions for using the Bopomofo input method to type Chinese, and finally working daily with CC1. Since the next device, M4G is coming soon, I think it's a good time to write a review for CC1. So in this article, I will review the benefits or drawbacks of CC1 under my near-two-year experiences with CC1, and some of them have been mentioned in my other articles. Ergonomic Design The first and most important thing about CC1 for me, is its ergonomic design. This is also the reason I chose CC1, and it perfectly meets my exceptions. It prevents the finger and wrist pains caused by my long-term bad typing habit on normal keyboards and my large usage of normal mice. Thanks to CC1, I can still do my full stack engineer job and write more useful program. Configurability To be honest, I completely forgot to consider typing Chinese, which is my native language, before buying CC1. I didn't have any preparation for that and then took a good time to find, implement, and practice Bopomofo input solutions on CC1. Thanks to the configurability of layout on CC1, I could freely design both the device layout and the Bopomofo layout and came up with some effective layouts that work well for all of English typing, Chinese typing, and programming.

在使用 CharaChorder 3D 輸入裝置時，我們會一直接觸到它們的鍵帽，所以它們對使用者體驗有很重大的影響。基於我在夏天和冬天[^weather]使用過金屬鍵帽的 CharaChorder One (CC1) 和混材（塑膠+橡膠圈）鍵帽的 CharaChorder Two (CC2) 的經歷，我決定來對它們的鍵帽特別寫一篇評價。 需要注意的點是，我使用的 CC2 是滿早的版本（我在 2024/11/26 買的。），從那時以來 CC2 的鍵帽已經有一些更新。底下提到的一些缺陷可能已經被修正。 在不同天氣下的偏好 在天氣熱時，我的指尖很容易出汗。在金屬鍵帽上的汗很快就蒸發掉。但在混材鍵帽上，汗會被橡膠圈吸收，使它變得黏黏的，並有不好的觸感。 另一方面，在天冷時，混材鍵帽依然維持在適中的溫度。然而金屬鍵帽會變得有點冰冷，但使用一段時間後就會回溫。 如果未來能在我的裝置上更換這兩種鍵帽的話，我會偏好在夏天使用金屬鍵帽，在冬天使用混材鍵帽。

Key caps are the parts that we would always touch when using the CharaChorder 3D devices, so they would significantly affect the user experience. Having used CharaChorder One (CC1) with its metal caps and CharaChorder Two (CC2) with its hybrid (plastic + rubber band) caps in both summer and winter weather[^weather], I decided to write a review article for their key caps. Note that the CC2 I use is in an early version (bought on 2024/11/26), and there have been some updates to the key caps since then. Some defects mentioned below might be fixed. Preferences in different weathers In hot weather, my fingertips get sweaty easily. The sweat on the metal caps can dry quickly through evaporation. However, on the hybrid caps, the sweat would be absorbed by the rubber ring, making it sticky and unpleasant to the touch. On the other side, in cold weather, the hybrid caps are still at a pleasant temperature. However, the metal caps would be slightly chilly to the touch, but they would warm up after a while. If I can swap the two types of key caps on my device in the future, I'd prefer to use the metal caps in the summer and the hybrid key caps in the winter.
