I couldn't get used to it to begin with but after a couple of days I could and I like it
I have noticed that I must 'slide' my fingers back from the top row to the home row however as I sort of catch my fingers on the top of the home row keys... Still nice though
!!! EXACTLY !!!
I selected my previous keyboard because time of the purchase (1997) Cherry ML4100 was the only 60% board here. I did not know about "mechanical switches" at that time, so I was lucky with it
As I remember, I get used with the totally ugly laptop layout in
1 month. After that I typed as fast as on a regular layout.
I don't remember that flat keytops blocked me - instead I just slide with my fingers on the keys while I looking at the monitor and can reach specified keys without looking them.
Recently I bought a CMstorm QuickFire: so, now my fingers always blocked by the common keytops when I trying to sliding on them
Also, it was 3-4 days to re-civilisationing myself to a normal layout
I like to remark that ML4100 having a light cylindrical top instead of DSA's spherical one, so maybe
this is the problem for someone (?). I think I prefer cylindrical tops, however I used spherical keys only on my ♥ C64, long time ago. BTW recently I pulled-off a key to test maybe it works on MX RED - but was no success

...that IS the real doubleshot - eh?
