I learned qwerty almost 4 decades ago in middle school and by high school was up to 120wpm. I’ve never tried another layout though, that’s plenty fast for me, and a lot of my typing for the first few years was on actual typewriters! I do have a few muscle memory glitches where I will type certain words wrong almost every single time, but now the muscle memory is to type it wrong and also hit the backspaces automatically in the right place. lol
I would imagine switching keyboard layouts is a lot like switching between languages you’re fluent in. It looks amazing from the outside to those that can’t do it, but to you it’s just natural!
