Oh, man, word by word my experience.

I bought a fancy, customizeable, ergonomic, mechanical keyboard. It feels great! But it's too much hazzle to learn, customize, OS changes etc.

I bought it because I was having wrist pain, and my old keyboard was one I got for free from the college surplus back in 2011. So I thought it was a sensible purchase.

I'm back to cheapo surplus keyboard.

Same.. you won't see a single person on the many subreddits saying that its too hard to adapt, they tried for days and and quit.

Either they are all 15 year olds with infinite time and better neuroplasticity or... more likely, people that quit are a bit embarassed about it.
