I’m just a newb when it comes to high grade keyboards, but these things look wild, and I kind of want to try one.

    I can’t use a split keyboard because of the way I’ve taught myself to touch-type. My fingers move around too much. On the other hand, I type around ~90 wpm (mostly using two fingers) so I win something or other.

      You can re-teach yourself.

      Touch typing is like learning different languages. Just because you learn a new one doesn’t mean you forget the first.

      I had the same problem, and never cracked touch typing, because my brain kept going back to the old, faster way.

      I finally cracked it by learning a different layout while only touch typing. Maybe that’s a way to go if you want to get there?

      Same. I learned to type without the whole “home rows” method and with some exceptions like shift (and A for some reason?) I type with two fingers per hand. Typing at 150wpm consistently is very fun.
