Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

I've decided to jump back into learning a new layout, specifically semimak JQ, from Dvorak. I've heard that as long as I practice both I should be able to maintain Dvorak while I learn semimak.

I was wondering if people here had any experience learning new layouts could share some insight for that?

Any other tips would be very appreciated. I'm sitting at somewhere around 26wpm on semimak atm, and 130-140 on Dvorak

That's good insight. Thank you. Also had me look up the characorder. It looks like it would be fun to use! Never heard of it before
