Our Verdict
Samsung S95C OLED
Samsung S90D OLED
The Samsung S95C OLED and the Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED are very similar, but there are some minor differences. The S90D has better processing, so there's less banding in colors and fewer artifacts present in low-quality content, and it does a slightly better job at upscaling low-resolution content. The S90D is also a tad brighter in HDR, so highlights pop a little bit more on it. However, the S95C comes with Samsung's Slim One Connect Box, so if you need a versatile way to plug in your devices, it's the better option.

Hey there. I understand your concern!
In my experience, it depends!
But if you’re 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 isn’t quite as steep as you might have thought. Typically, after about a week, it’ll start to feel pretty natural, and you’ll likely be typing near the same speed as you’re used to and without making more typos than normal.
That said, if you’re 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.
