I had the same weird typing style but really wanted to use the split ortholinear keyboard layout due to some pain I was feeling in my forearm

Adapting to the layout was frustrating. It took me a week of standard use to not have typos. About a month to lock down the location of modifier keys and layer layouts.

Was it worth it? In my case, absolutely. The pain in my forearms disappeared. I also type "properly" on standard staggered keyboards now.

It turns out that in my case, the weird typing style was part of why I was feeling pain in my forearms in the first place.

out of curiosity, how wide apart do you place the two halves of your split keyboard?

i recently got one, and been wondering if i should place them full shoulder width apart or not.
