It is not because of the split design - it’s because of the ortholinear layout. Classical staggered layout is much more tolerant to the posture and angle.

- finnh 5y agoOh this explains it! I tried a Moonlander and really didn't jive with it, then tried a KinesiS Freestyle and love it. Upon reflection, it's the ortholinear layout that made the Moonlander so much less comfortable for me.
- fomine3 5y agoI realized the pros for staggered layout!
- __mharrison__ 5y agoHow so? Can you elaborate on this?
- achikin 5y agoThat is my observation. I have Ergodox, Planck and X-Bows, all of them are non-staggered. I noticed that I had an urge to adjust either keyboard or my posture constantly. On the other hand I’m comfortable with a traditional staggered keyboard at any angle and position. Non-staggered is very comfortable as soon as you keep you fingers along the columns. But is you move a little bit - you have to adjust the keyboard.
