Ortholinear (which is the straight row/columns like the planck) kind of fail to account for the fact that your fingers aren't equally long. They do feel more comfortable than a normal staggered layouts as far as moving from keys between rows, but hitting keys like q or p (on qwerty) are a notable strain. In fact I usually hit the 'p' key with my ring finger since even with keyboards that do try to account for it because unless you have variably sized keys, you're going to be compromising the pinkies on any layout. > how long are you usiing kinesis advantage 2? It's something I want to try eventually I've been using the Advantage for less time than most, only a couple years. It's pretty great but the space between key wells is a little narrow for my shoulder width. A fully split option doesn't have this issue, so I'm waiting for the new kinesis board to come out. I have a dactyl manuform that I have to rehandwire, but haven't had the motivation to do so but I think they are probably superior ergonomically. Still, I think once you've tried a keyboard with the key wells it's very hard to go back to something that is flat, even with tenting.
