I recently moved to a 60% keyboard (Drop Alt with Clear switches) and really like it. I find the look of these 40% keyboards very appealing. But I also don’t want to have to relearn to type or customize every keyboard I ever purchase in the future. If those barriers get reduced I think they could be very intriguing. Ortholinear keyboards are especially interesting...

You don't have to customize everything you buy in the future. Even after getting a 40% (Mitosis) I can still type just fine on staggered keyboards. I recommend going to column stagger rather than ortholinear.

I just hooked up my Alt with Clear this morning (previous daskeyboard). I miss the mx brown but I like how close the mouse is to the board and the reduction in reaching for the other keys. Having come from several years of split keyboards my main switching complaint was the switch and key quality was really bad. So this 40% is a positive step I hope catches on.
