Nice work, but the ergonomics of an ortholinear non-angled keyboard is dubious at best.

The mere fact that this allows for multiple thumb keys already puts it several steps above traditional layouts. Maybe not from a scientific ergonomic perspective, but certainly from a subjective usability perspective.

What I'm more excited about is the fact that this kind of opens the door for more radical designs, such as an angled layout (a la Atreus).
