Every chord is explicit.

I think someone else in comment thread mentioned that it comes preconfigured with 500 chords--these cover the 300 most common English word (some duplicate chords in case you prefer to hit them one way or the other).

It's up to you (or someone else if you import their library) to setup and configure different chords.

This is one of my least favorite parts about the product--it's advertised such that it seems like it is magical but really it is just like have a bunch of macros.

So in this case, you might have h+l to indicate hole, or h+o, or h+e--whatever is most comfortable for you. Hole is not configured out of the box so there is no way to chord it...but it is just like a keyboard in that you can just type it. You can type h, o, l, then e just like you would on a keyboard.

It's this mixing and matching of character entry + chording which makes the device pretty interesting.




Thanks. That’s definitely the missing piece that wasn’t explained in their TikTok videos. He talks about creating custom cords for odd words, but not something like hole.
