Is there anyone who’s successfully made the change late in the game or just two handers in general with advice about best setup, positioning, keys to use, etc.?

Figure out what setup of four keys works for you, then figure out if you want to do Standard: AS KL sort of setup, of Hybrid WD(or E) KO type. (I recommend the first one frankly.)

Then it's just teaching the other hand the skill your right hand already has, your reading abilities translate, so focus more on easier files to bump yourself up slowly to your old skill level.

A good file for practice is Once Upon A December, it pretty much has most skills you'll need, bar stream and jumpstream, but those are learned in your bump past one handed most likely.

But really, focusing hard on being comfortable will make the transition as smooth as possible. I swapped from Index to Spread myself, and have also taught myself downscoll for the fuck of it (though I'm no where as good.) I also played with Middle / Ring finger for the longest time, and play Index / Middle now.

So I've jumped around a lot.
