Anyone using an ortholinear keyboard 👀 just learned about them ... now

I made this as a COVID project and just ordered a kit to make another one

Wow this is so simple; love the blank keys

I didn't know how to 'properly' touch type before I got this keyboard

The ortholinear part definitely made it easier to know which finger I'm supposed to use to hit each key

The blank keys and qmk layers definitely made symbols hard though

I'd also really recommend a split keyboard. Much better for your forearm/wrist alignment, and opening up your shoulders/chest

More so than the ortholinear part

Here's a great split ortholinear (both columns and rows) keyboard

I personally don't but a bunch of people with the same keyboard do. I think it's a QMK feature/plugin

Yeah I can do blank keys for all letters. For symbols mmm hit or miss I think. 

Do you have your keyboard programmed with shortcuts like Ctrl+c is double tapping the c key or something ?
