non-staggered, like the standard ergo dox. took me a long time to get used... i still type much faster on my ms natural keyboard that i've used for decades. but i'm getting hoked on the ergodox square layout.
made me realize i never used the pink for absolutely anything before other than holding shift. not sure if that is good or bad.
anyway, i'm still hunting for the perfect programmer keyboard. ms natural was my choice until now. now i'm teaking my ergodox every couple weeks and hope to have it perfected soon
BTW, back on topic... i just got the tex YODA! it is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen! but the trackpoint came broken. already emailed support and i saw a post today that MD already have the replacement trackpoint boards. so you are in the perfect time if you want to exchange your assembled or not ergodox for a tex yoda! you can pick if you want it assembled or not, and i can put in a mix of any MX you want. i have enough for a full brow, full clears, almost full black/red, or any mix.
