Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about switching from Keybr to CosmicKeys

QWhy should I pay for CosmicKeys when Keybr is free?

Keybr is an excellent tool for testing speed, but CosmicKeys is a structured university for building it. Your lifetime membership includes a curated curriculum, voice-guided lessons, and prescriptive analytics that tell you how to fix your errors, not just that you made them.

QIs CosmicKeys better for developers?

Yes. Unlike standard typing tutors that use random words, CosmicKeys offers 'Real World' practice modes specifically for code. You can practice typing actual syntax for Python, JavaScript, and more to build muscle memory for special characters and brackets.

QDoes CosmicKeys support international keyboard layouts?

Absolutely. We support 29+ layouts including ISO and ANSI standards for UK, Spanish, German, Nordic regions, and more. The visual finger guide adapts to your specific physical keyboard setup.

QHow are the analytics different from Keybr?

Keybr provides descriptive data (raw speed, consistency). CosmicKeys provides prescriptive coaching. We analyze per-finger latency to identify exactly which finger is bottlenecking your speed, then suggest specific lessons to target that weakness.
