Just wondering, but is ortholinear actually better? It's not like my fingers are 4 parallel lines. And I don't have hands perfectly straight on the keyboard either - hands come in at an angle.

Note that on normal keyboard all alpha keys are staggered to the left. For both hands. So, this stagger is not helping you to keep your left hand at correct angle.

"Grid" ortholinear is not an ultimate solution either, but it is more comfy (from personal experience).

There is a short video about ortho vs stagger https://youtu.be/Ho_CFfdsmc8
