It's been about six months since I switched from using the QWERTY layout on a 60% keyboard to using the Canary layout on a 30% keyboard.
Six month review: I'm still definitely lacking typing speed compared to where I was before. But the reduction in strain on my hands and wrists has been so worth it. Despite the switch taking effort, so far this seems to have been worth it!
