What does /g/ think about Ortholinear Keyboards?
>>55306961
My friend in highschool swore by his, I've never tried one though
first time I see this, it's programmable?
>>55306961
>muh minimalism
>>55307023
Yes, fully programmable, build it yourself, simplistic,
>>55306961
aww its so kawaii!!! it so little! it like a funny little keyboard for kids!! XD
>>55306961
i don't understand it
>>55307054
looks pretty cool I'm gonna build a 60%, how much does this one cost?

>>55306961
I don't see why anyone who builds a ortholinear doesn't make it a full-size or a TKL. Function layers are retarded.

SO DEEP
SO ABSTRACT
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
>>55307174
The schematics are open source, you can build one yourself. The pre-built PCB is $38.

Traditional keyboards have a staggered layout, rather than an ortholinear one.

Are there any of these that aren't 40% memeboards?

What exactly is the issue with this?

Mine actually just arrived recently after 18 weeks of waiting (said it would take 2-8 weeks), so I get the criticism. To be honest, it's more of a cosmetic item/fun project than useful -- I would rather use a normal tenkeyless.
>>55310039
Yes, all of them; they're actually 95% memeboards.
go away reddit

It doesn't fucking matter because keys are squares that offer a decent amount of leeway in terms of finger positioning. There would be barely any difference in terms of finger movement.
ortholinear is not for me

I considered getting a Planck through Massdrop but am glad I passed on the whole headache.
Aside from the assclowns that are invested in their novelty purchase as they defend the autistic developer and crooks at Massdrop there's the rest of the gear obsessed computer hobbyist community that for all of their talk of framerates and watercooling actually suck at video games.
If you aren't handwiring a top plate you designed yourself through Big Blue Saw you're a tourist.
