Effortless.

Muscle memory is a wonderful thing. You don’t struggle to wear two different pairs of shoes or ride two bikes.

With enough practice (three months for me) I can type easily on phone keyboards, kinesis/moonlander, and qwerty laptop keyboards.

Do yourself a favor and take care of your hands. Split, ergonomic, welled, and ortholinear keyboards make a noticeable difference for finger fatigue, RSI, etc. my wrist tenderness is gone after using my kinesis for 3 years and has not returned after using the ZSA moonlander for 3 months.

Agreed. After awhile you will always switch modes instantly as long as the keyboard is a different shape.

Kinesis to std, no problem, don't even think about it. Kinesis to Model 1 not so much.
