I switched to a split keyboard. Went from 8 wpm to 30 wpm in 9 days!!! It's doable. I can work at this speed. I had 70 WPM. But I believe I will gradually reach better speed.
However, the gains have been huge for me! I can finally type in relaxed position. The layers are amazing!! I don't have to reach shift for those symbols. Everything is within good reach. Let's see what happens down the line. But split keyboard layout sold me! Will definitely go deeper into making one with low profile choc!!!
