ZMK Matrix Training with a familiar, buttery-smooth feel
To love is to recognize. Master your split ergonomic keyboard with interactive visual aids.
Moosytype is a simple typing trainer built specifically for split, ergonomic, and columnar keyboards.
Instead of making you guess where your keys are, it shows a live, interactive map of your exact keyboard on the screen. As you type, it highlights the keys you need to hit next. It also lets you test-drive new layouts like Colemak-DH or Dvorak to build up your muscle memory before you actually flash them to your hardware.
-
Visualize Your Split Keyboard: Map your Glove80, Go60, Corne, or Voyager in QWERTY, Colemak-DH, Dvorak, or any custom layout.
-
Test Drive Before Flashing: Practice any QWERTY alternative safely in your browser before flashing it to your keyboard's firmware.
-
Monkeytype-Inspired Experience: Train inside a clean, beautiful, and instantly familiar fluid interface.
-
Algorithmic Mistake Tracking: Automatically generate targeted practice sessions to isolate and fix your weakest keys.
-
Open Source & Local: Free, transparent, and private. Everything runs in your browser with zero backend or dependencies.
-
Multi-Language: An input-language selector (English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew, Arabic) teaches blind typing in each language, with words sourced from Monkeytype. Hebrew and Arabic switch the on-screen keyboard to their standard script layout (SI-1452 / Arabic 101) and render right-to-left; the Latin languages keep your chosen layout so you can drill it with foreign-language text.
