I used clicky blues for 8 months, then swapped to linears and my typing speed dropped 15 wpm in a week

I built my first 65% board last spring with Gateron Blues because I liked the noise. After 8 months I got tired of my roommate complaining, so I lubed and swapped in some Gateron Yellows. My typing test went from 95 wpm to about 80 for the first week, mostly because I kept bottoming out and second guessing when the keys would fire. Anyone else lose speed switching switch types, or did it come back after a couple weeks?
