    This interview is almost undecipherable unless you are a part of the hardcore keyboard enthusiast crowd. I hadn't even heard of that layout until now and the author made no effort to appeal to laymen whatsoever. Of all the pictures, the only one that shows the entire layout clearly is near the bottom.

      Huh... No kidding. This interview was much more dense then I expected. As apparently another mech keyboard lay person, there's only a couple of things that stood out to me. The horse and straddle comparison was rather interesting. Though, this doesn't apply to me because I use laptops and have a handful of different keyboards.
