Reading the story of your keyboard iterations was a lot of fun, and I'm very interested in finding a mechanical keyboard that works for me. But I have to ask: how can you possibly type with all those keys under your wrists? Am I the only one wondering this? What am I missing?


Hm? There are only two keys that actually sit under the heels of your hands. And the keyboard is designed with a higher top plate than usual so that resting your palms on the butterfly's wings puts your hands in a fairly neutral position.


Those keys are not under the wrist, they are under the thumb. See the two lonely rectangles, that are next to no other keys? The 2nd joint of the thumb hovers right about there.


Thanks, that's reassuring! When I imagined putting my hands over the keys, I couldn't figure out how my wrists would miss the "lonely rectangles," but perhaps I'm visualizing it wrong.
