I tried using a split keyboard at work for a while but I found that it was too difficult to use all the symbols and extra keys. I'm a programmer so I need to type brackets and colons and things constantly. I bet it would be pretty easy to get used to for someone who mostly types actual English.
Oh yeah that's definitely a challenge. I had to tweak it some, but luckily I found Miryoku so I can get all the special characters without reaching too far. Even bound a key to :: for Rust. It does take quite a while to get used to though and I had to switch off with a normal keyboard at the beginning when I needed to get something done quickly.
