Over the past year I've used four drastically different types of keyboards: a classic keyboard, a lenovo laptop, a Truly Ergonomic Keyboard [0], and an Ergo Dox [1].
The laptop keyboard was pretty normal, but Fn and Ctrl are switched. When my other keyboard was a classic keyboard this was a huge problem, I couldn't get used to Ctrl not being an outside key. That problem went away once I switched to the TEK, I think because the layout was different enough that I developed different touch typing skills. The Dox is even more different, and it's easier to switch between laptop, Dox, and classic keyboards.
