Big mechanical keyboard fan here! Although I'm not sure whether they're artsy or not :)
I got a ZSA Moonlander a few months ago and adore it, but it takes work to adapt and I've heard that some end up walking away unhappy, so I guess caveat emptor, but if you DO adapt you may well love yours as I do mine.
Much less strain on wrists and shoulders.
On the topic of touch typing training, the Moonlander came with a fun modern game that teaches touch typing called "Epistory". I play a fair amount still despite having long since adapted to the keyboard.
(I'd paste the URL but I can't figure out how from SyncTerm on Linux/KDE :)
