I built a Planck, and as much as I appreciate the ortholinear layout, I'm having a hard time finding/configuring a keymap that has the necessary symbols somewhere that feels intuitive. I'll spend a couple hours acclimating to a keymap on typing.io, but if I need to an ANSI staggered KB, even for a couple hours, it seems to wipe my muscle memory. Guess I need to buy another Planck!

Keep practicing. I've used an ergodox for about 4 years with the Norman layout. I am still proficient at qwerty on laptop style keyboards.

Though I'm not a musician I assume it is similar to playing two different instruments.

This is why I went with an Atomic instead of the Planck. Ortholinear, but very close to a "normal" keyboard in the layout.
