How hard is it to get used to that layout? I feel like my fingers wouldn't find their way if you get what I'm saying.

By far the hardest adjustment period is just getting used to ortholinear itself.

That took me about a month or so. I completely relearned how to touch type.

After that I played around with different ideas until I settled on this keymap, which I find pretty effortless. (Only one layer to remember.) Took me a few days to adjust to this current version, and I’ve been using it now for almost a year.

OK, here is a different question! If I'll let you type a paragraph on a different keyboard (Say... regular one you use at a library or a leptop one) how hard is it for you to switch after you got used to it? hahaha

Sick setup btw! Liked it a lot!

Believe it or not, I have not run into this situation!

The beauty of the Planck is it’s so light and portable, I can just stick it in my purse and go. I am never without my precious ortholinear layout. :þ

But going off what other people have said, it’s not too bad switching between ortho and staggered, so long as you practice your staggered very occasionally. It’s like your brain is able to retain both forms of muscle memory. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>Sick setup btw! Liked it a lot!

Thanks, I appreciate it. :)
