So far a few lessons on Keybr have done wonders. I still stumble with V, X, and Z and of course all the new modifiers and symbols. My typing speed was originally 110 wpm on a good day and I'm at around 90 already. It's surprisingly intuitive and wildly more comfortable on the wrists and hands! I feel like Alices are similar to this, I'd say go for it.

Give yourself a month to get back up to speed.

All I know is the pain I used to have is gone after switching to a keyboard like this.

I built one and it took about a week for normal typing but weeks of a little tweaks for layers after that. I moved the SHIFT keys directly to the left of my pinkies, space is right thumb and backspace if left thumb.

I have layer switching to use arrows/numbers without having to move my hand at all which is a huge game changer.

Why are they called Alice? Isn't that a split columnar layout?

Iunno, all I know is that all the split keebs I've seen online tend to be called "Alice"
