@Luis Rocha I just saw the moonlander without the keys and thought "who else have i seen do this 🤔". I'm learning the ISRT layout currently because of him

It's one of those things where you think it is dumb until you try it. I know what each row of keys my fingers are responsible for and don't have to try hard to get to them. Since you are only curling or extending your fingers to reach keys the experience is neutral; which is what you want from a thing that you're interacting with all day. That's just ortholinear. Split is a weird one. With split, each hand is responsible for a set of key which means if you are the kind of person to one hand on mouse; you may have to reach or reset hands to do certain interactions. This can be fixed by adding a layer of keys or combos to a degree but keep that in mind if you aren't a L33t linux KB only power user and are just a windows person like me. Another issue is layout, even if you do stick rigidly to QWERTY when you go to a normal keyboard it will feel off and you won't be as snappy. If you don't stick to QWERTY then you will have to live with the fact you are going to suck on anyone else's keyboard. This isn't an issue if you don't work on other computers. You can also just take your KB to work if that's applicable. Other than that being able to move the keyboards to suit either your sitting position or your arm rest width is a game changer. I used to have a 60% and it was wonderful; but I had to bring my elbows close into my chest to type. Now my arms are shoulder width and the typing experience is what I would describe as yet again neutral. All I can say is there won't be any explosive 'aha' moment where it feels like god has came down and given you the gift of the true holy typing experience. It will just feel like a keyboard. BUTT; if and when you do have to type on regular keyboard you will physically feel and hate the ergonomic shortcomings of dated standards. Tank u 4 coming to da teddy talk TLDR: Worth it but for the price of never enjoying regular keyboards again.
