Why are they using staggered keys? Because it's cheaper to produce and more familiar for most people? I can't go back to staggered keyboards after using one with a columnar layout. But I never liked staggered keyboards to begin with. For me it felt awkward to touch type (maybe a problem with my small hands, idk).

But the config looks beautiful.

My dream keyboard would be something like this: https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/katy-keyboard-or-k80cs-k...

Yes, when the kickstarter launched I actually thought about backing the project, but I don't know if I can go back after experiencing the concave key wells of my Kinesis Advantage (I can't even decide what's more important to me - a columnar layout or concave key wells). But I will certainly give it a try when one of my friends or co workers get it (if they let me ;o). I especially like the key caps, the look beautiful and comfortable.
