So… for those that use a split and/or columnar #keyboard, how long did it take you to get good at it?

@genebean I got a Kinesis Freestyle 2 about 10 years ago. It took me almost no time at all to get used to, but my previous work keyboard had all-black keys so I was already on the touch-typing train for a while. Great keyboard, especially the tenting/wrist rest kit (which should IMO come standard). I love that it is not columnar, and meets regular ol’ QWERTY typists halfway. I later bought a Freestyle Edge, which has mechanical switches. https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/freestyle-pro/

@pete I could certainly see the appeal of a non-columnar one… I just figured I’d give it a try since, in theory, it’s more ergonomic.
