Make Ortholinear Variants


I ordered the new Huntsman V2, and am absolutely in love with this new quieter keyboard! I used mechanical for the feel, and strongly dislike the sound. So, this keyboard is am amazing fit for me.

However, I feel it could be improved upon by making it ortholinear instead of staggered keys.

It's actually pointless for modern keyboards to still be staggered, and is not at all ergonomic. The staggered keys are a throwback to typerwriters that needed to be staggered to allow the bars under the keys to not hit each other. But modern keyboards have never suffered from this problem. And yet, for some arbitrary reason, keyboards still carry this staggered style.

The number pad on a keyboard is already ortholinear. In fact, all the other keys apart from the traditional staggered keyboard typing section, are already ortholinear!

So, my point here is that I am suggesting Razer step up and start making this change to keyboards. If we want to see a change in the keyboard world, then is must start with a major producer of keyboards (like Razer, or Steel Series). And since Razer makes a superior product, I would like Razer to be the first to represent this in a major way.

I would buy and replace all of my keyboards at once if Razer sold me a Huntsman V2 Ortholinear quiet keyboard. And I would tell my boss to buy all new keyboards for the office.
