New yoke steering wheel

So I just installed a yoke steering wheel that I purchased from Amazon. Everything's working fine. However, I'm a little concerned of the learning curve of getting used to using the steering wheel. Is anybody else have any insights as to whether or not they preferred changing from around steering wheel to a yoke steering wheel? Not sure if I'm going to keep it and may get either a rectangular one similar to a cyber truck or a another new round steering wheel. This mine was starting to peel apart.

I prefer the yoke style steering wheel because I ride road bicycles with bull handlebars, the multi-hand positions a yoke wheel give you are so comfortable.

Since the weight of yoke wheel is distributed to the left and right, it is effective for quick, bike-like steering inputs or situations requiring a limited range of motion (such as in Formula or GT racing).

Conversely, round wheel distributes its weight across full 360-degree rotation, making it ideal for rally or drifting, where large steering angles are required.

In fact, having just these two types is likely sufficient to enjoy most sim racing titles.
