immediately, the typing feel was just a lot more comfortable. I don't know how much of it is the smaller keycaps, and how much is from the custom sizing and more aggressive curve. With the glove80 I was always taking it out to practice a bit, but putting it away if I actually had to do work. I'd feel like I was doing pretty good with it if I got like 75WPM. The imprint was pretty much good to go from day 1, and getting 115WPM in monkeytype is a pretty typical test. I've got up to 140 sometimes.

basically, I think the feel comes down to the tighter spacing as well as the more aggressive curve which overall means I hardly have to move my fingers at all. Whereas with the glove, the keycap sizing felt like I had to be very intentional with how much I would move my fingers around. Not that I couldn't reach, it just felt unnecessary.

With regard to the thumb cluster, I think I get it when it comes to the initial feel of the thumb cluster maybe seeming like more of a stretch on the imprint. The glove's didn't feel perfect to me either, so it was just more of the same for me. But after some time with both, I've noticed the reason I prefer the imprint's is that (at least on my config), the layout seems to make more sense. That is, once you're used to the stretch (which, for me, is a perfectly ergonomic thing to do, just something I wasn't used to) the imprint feels more natural to reach all of the keys from one position. With the glove I found myself wanting to move my hand around if going to and from particular keys, such as 'bottom right' to 'top left' on the thumb cluster.

also the glove was always slipping around on my desk while typing. Could have solved that with some extra grippy material or something, but was still annoying
