It was really quick!
For context, I have a Moonlander, Keyboard.io Model 01, Kenesis Advantage, Matias ErgoPro, and other non-split/divided boards.
One of the things I love about it is using the left space bar as backspace. I've always thought it was really silly to have a loooong spacebar that we only use the ends of. The modifiers are easier to use in combination than, say, the Moonlander, and require less movement off homerow to use them.
The only thing that's a bit odd is the 6 key is on the left hand (not really a problem), and there are PgUp, PgDn, and Home keys, but no End key. Solved that by making Home be the End key on layer 1 (accessed by holding down the right space bar). I also have Home, Left, Down, Up, Right, End on what would be HJKL; on that layer (I use Dvorak, so the letters are different, but doesn't matter).
It also has a volume knob :-) Press to play/pause, rotate for volume.

Really no problem to switch back and forth between, say, Q10 Alice and K3 Pro. Your brain just learns it. I do occasionally hit Space with my left thumb when I meant backspace. No biggie.
We humans are remarkable at such adaptations. I used to have a '72 Harley Sportster and a '97 Sportster. The foot controls (brake and gear shift) were opposite between the two. I adapted and didn't have to think about it. Car pulled out in front of my once, and I grabbed clutch, front brake, and stomped everything :-)

People are just jaded and strongly opinionated to the point where it's hurtful to them if you don't agree with them.

To each their own, I guess.

I even have a full size that has a trackball on the side. Too big for me lol.
