After the incredible response to KAT Great Wave, the community wondered, "What's next for the talented creators of this passionate, thoughtfully-designed concept?"

At long last, dudeship delivered. A bold keyset that challenges the status quo of conventional ergonomics with a daring message: With all the disorder in the world, what if we could restore order by placing it quite literally at our fingertips? But with each passing day that I revisit this thread and the Boba Studios Discord, I wonder if it is perhaps truly too much for our hands to handle. And maybe it is for our own good that dudeship withholds updates about definitely making very real progress on developing this set behind the scenes

I'm guessing no touch typing allowed, and mapping the keys to the corresponding legend is a must as well to get the full experience.

The irony is... if typewriters had been invented later with better technology, they might have stuck with this layout.

Didn't they start with ABCDEF and then QWERTY was invented because people kept breaking the early typewriters by hitting certain places on the keyboard over-and-over again? I thought QWERTY happened because they needed to redistribute the keys all over the typewriters.

Actually, relatively small add-on kits could achieve Alphabet layout for common color themes like BoW and WoB.
