Worried I wasted money on my new Moonlander, will I ruin my muscle memory?
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.
Update: I got it back out a couple days ago and it turns out all I needed to do was use it for a day and then sleep on it so my brain could do a firmware update. I'm back at the 70wpm I was with staggered, and yet my proficiency with staggered has only dropped about 5/10wpm.

Just keep at it. I took me a couple weeks and then I was at the point where I could easily switch back and forth. But I had the same thing where after the first few weeks of using ortho, I had some issues going back. But they went away pretty quickly. For a little while I kept trying to switch back and forth each day, but not sure if that helped. These days I'm mostly moonlander, but when I'm traveling or on a plane, I may just us the laptop and my brain/fingers just know what to do.
So, basically, keep at it and you'll be fine.
I think I was just placing my hands weirdly because I've been using it this week and by now I feel great with it.
