The muscle memory movements take a while to retrain. It took about a month of daily usage (45mins of straight typing a day on average) to get to where I was on a “normal” keyboard. The Epistory game was a fun way to train on it

It definitely is comfortable! I game a little now, I did a lot more in the past. Can’t say I really noticed any high latency, but I’m not a pro gamer by any means.

I have a ZSA Moonlander and lily58. Both are great! I think an ortholinear and split board will help you out a bit. Regarding switches, ZSA has several options you can select, including Kalih Silver. You should be looking at boards that have “hot swap” meaning you can easily change the switches.

If you’re looking for something with short key travel but mechanical, something that supports choc switches should be on your list. Although the options for keyboards and for switches will be quite reduced.
