Hey all, I just purchased a Moonlander and after using it for a day, I unplugged it and packed it back up because I noticed my muscle memory on my laptop was already deteriorating!

I want to be an ergomech user, but I also need to frequently use my laptop by itself with a standard keyboard. Is it possible to keep my muscle memory for both? Have any of you had success switching back and forth between a split ergo and a standard keyboard?

Any advice or reassurance is appreciated. This was a massive purchase for me and this issue has me very disheartened at the moment.

    No I didn’t, but I was surprised I haven’t lost the ability to type as I used to on a row staggered keyboard. It might be different adjusting to touchtyping though since they’re basically the same skill just you have to compensate for row stagger… My suggestion would be to not go too long without doing one of the two, that way you can keep your skills honed…
