I’m not sure what problems you had “barely typing letters on it”, because I personally got used the that part extremely quickly and found it comfortable.. but I agree that some of the characters are placed in rather unfamiliar place, however, you can remap them. Better yet, I use a foot pedal (the three pedal one, I use one pedal as shift, a second as Fn and still haven’t mapped the third to anything) and just mapped the symbols to foot oedal (fn) + home row keys for super easy typing (although over the years I got used to their default positions more and stopped using the Fn+home row mappings, I should revisit them)
