are split keyboards easy to get used to? anyone got any experiences switching from ordinary layout to split? im worried ill have too many typos initially
Hey there. I understand your concern!
In my experience, it depends!
But if youโre making the jump from an ordinary straight keyboard layout to a pretty standard split keyboard layout like with the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB or the Logitech ERGO K860, then you may be surprised that the learning curve isnโt quite as steep as you might have thought. Typically, after about a week, itโll start to feel pretty natural, and youโll likely be typing near the same speed as youโre used to and without making more typos than normal.
That said, if youโre looking at some more unusual split designs, such as with a keyboard like the MoErgo Glove80, then it can take a bit more time as there are other new factors to get used to, such as the curved key wells, the thumb clusters, and the columnar layout. But even when jumping to a very different board, most people find they will fully adapt within a few weeks or a month at most, even with some of the most radically different designs.
I hope that answers your question.
