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.

    I found I was back up to 80+ WPM in about 2 days on my ergo mech, and 100 in 4 or so days.

    I can still type okay on a standard keyboard. Not the full 90 I used to, but I also don’t practice on it anymore. I’m sure with a few days of practice I’d be fine on it as well again.

    It’s really no different than learning a few different musical instruments. Your fingers learn what to do.
