genuine question, why do you use ortho boards? what do you like about them?

Aside from aesthetic preferences, I think the staggered layout is yet another design quirk carried over from typewriters. Ortholinear layouts feels more comfortable and coherent to me, ever since I've gotten used to them.

it absolutely is a carryover, yeah. i think technology connections has a video on it. personally i think they look weird (maybe it's just because that's what i'm used to) i think i can see why it'd feel more comfortable, tho i wonder if having keys on such a perfect grid like that would actually..

pitr why are there 2 orange keys

They're both space bars. The keyboard comes with a single 2 unit space bar out of the box, but they also include two 1 unit key caps. My keyboard is a part of the early developer edition batch, and for those the extra key caps are colored orange.

I'm stupid, which is which?
