That's quite a bit more stagger than normal.

It looks fun. Not to type on though. I saw a keyboard artwork a looooong time ago that was almost the same. 70's stuff.

I'm sure i saw one of these things in some kind of science fiction movie... Non-mechanic though. More like a capacitive touchscreen.

Surely a very good arrangement but the hex thing should be limited to the single sized keys
