That's true! Didn't really realise that the smaller the keyboard the less time spent on lubing!

On a scale from 1 to 10 how hard was it to learn to use it?

EZ 6.9. The worst part was the less used symbols like brackets and colon.

For me, most of the rewarding part of my 40% has been the ultimate control over what every key does. I agree that 6.9/10 is about the difficulty level of making it my daily, but it is supremely easy to change my keymap in QMK to whatever I need. I have the exact same two keys to do () [] {} <> and / on different layers/Combos, one button that does mid-sentence punctuation , ; : - and one that does end-sentence punctuation .? !

And, yes, the original reason was so I spent less on switches and keycaps LOL
