> typing blind on a keyboard I am not used to is anyway a hopeless endeavor.
Sounds like you’re a special case then. Most people can type fine on any qwerty keyboard. And your willingness to turn a blind eye to pretty major annoyances makes it seem like you’re trying to justify the effort you’ve put into Colemak. Even if you aren’t doing that, you’ll get more mileage out of just admitting that it’s annoying to have to use another keyboard.

Nah, I know vim, meow, emacs keybindings but mostly use boon. I am also able to use my zoo of keyboards in the drawer without any problem, including Model100, KA2 and Glove80. Not everyone is limited by difficulty of learning a skill. There was absolutely no reason to keep qwery and staggered keyboard skills sharp, so I did let it go. Q.E.D.
