I just realized that I never updated this project with the results of my experiment.

In short, I’m disappointed.

I was hoping the muscle memory and learning from a traditional split keyboard would transfer to this layout, but it turns out that our muscle memory seems to operate in terms of absolute positions, not relative movements, and that rotating the keyboard by 90° and flipping it completely defeats any learning you might have benefited from from use of a regular keyboard.

The keyboard is possible to use, but you basically have to learn to type on it from scratch.
