It's really unfortunate to see how tightly product designers hold on to the traditional staggered-typewriter layout.

People tend to believe that more esoteric designs won't sell, but the $300+ model01 I'm typing this comment with begs to differ. It seems to me like they are targeting the wrong market.

My ergodox, lily58, atreus, and soon sofle also beg to differ.

Sofle looks nice. I really like the idea of having dials on-board.

The only thing I would miss is the thumb-cluster design of the Model01. Having thumb keys a little farther to the side, and having a thumb-knuckle key is really comfortable.

The extra portability of the lily58/sofle design would be nice, though.
