There’s a habit among ergo keyboard enthusiasts to refer to columnar staggered keyboards as “ortholinear”. Ortholinear became a term for anything that’s not row staggered like a traditional keyboard, even though it’s not technically correct.
Columnar stagger is a more corrrect term for stuff like corne or sweep.
I mean I get it. I could switch between an ortho and a collumnar stagger pretty easily, but every time I have to type on a “normal” keyboard I fall flat on my face.
The OP means the similar vertical offsets as it’s found on the corne (3/8u for the pinky and 1/8u for the rest, I believe).
When you say “stagger”, do you mean not-ortholinear? If so, I’m confused as both the Sweep and Corne are ortholinear.

Yes. Correct. I mixed it up again. I mean the vertical offset of course. Thanks for clarifying.
no they aren’t, they’re colstaggered.
