Indeed, it took me about an hour to transfer to a Russian keyboard the first 
time I needed to use one. Learning to type, I think, is not so much about 
learning where the characters are relative to the keys but learning the 
necessary moves to hit individual keys - you can then superimpose any layout 
with a little practice. I actually find it harder to go from a traditional 
flat keyboard to an "ergonomic" one than swapping from UK to RU layout.
