Looks so awesome. So many of these really nice looking Kinesis Advantage looking keyboards tend towards columnar layouts, not staggered, and that's run me aground both times I've tried it. :/ I'm envious though!
It took me a couple weeks to get up to speed on my ortholinear keyboard (Keyboardio Model 100), but it really is worth it to stick with it! It makes a lot more sense ergonomically.
I have an Atreus and it has almost completely spoilt me for anything else. I tried the Model 100 but I just don't get on with it. For some reason it just makes my hands tired. Not impossible that I need different switches for it.
What I want right now is a wireless, split Atreus - precisely the same layout, just in two halves, and with no wires.
It strikes me as odd that such a thing doesn't seem to exist. I can find plenty that are "that, plus/minus a row", "that, plus a column", "close, but ortholinear" but nothing that precisely targets what seems to me to be quite an obvious gap in the market.
I owned couple of those novelty keyboards and ultimately forfeited all of them for the weird reason: latency. I didn't know it was latency at first. It just like keyboard is faulty, it's losing keys, or producing more than it should.
But then I stumbled upon (I believe) article about keyboard latency[1] and it all started to make sense. I switched to native keyboards and never looked back.
In case you're wondering what's my typing speed - I was wondering too and finished some random web based typing test which told me I'm peaking at 160WPM.
