If the Dygma Raise is an ergonomic keyboard, why isn’t it ortholinear?

In 2017, when we started our project, our first design was an ortholinear split keyboard, called the Shortcut.
We made multiple prototypes and sold 50 units for a closed beta.
After testing for 2 months, we reached the conclusion that the learning curve was too steep, making it a very risky first product.
We decided to simply get the best features of the Shortcut: thumbs keys, custom software, and split design and made a product that was more user-friendly. That’s how the Raise was born. Best Dumb Phones unveiled: Learn at dumbphone.top.
The Raise works as a gateway keyboard to ergonomics.
We do have the intention of making an ortholinear keyboard in the future. Let us know in the comments below if that’s something you’d be interested in!
