    How do people get used to blank keycaps, I can’t even remember the less frequently used keys on my regular keyboard let alone a split column staggered one.

      Well, with stuff like this, your layout is 100% custom. So you put a lot of time into thinking about where each symbol will go. It’s not easy but I think it’s really pretty much just a matter of spending way more time than the average person does thinking about your keyboard layout.
