no longer need to accommodate a mechanical linkage, the keys can be set in vertical columns without staggering, minimizing lateral finger movements when moving between rows, but increases the distance between the pointing finger neutral position to some of its secondary keys. This vertical layout rearranges the keys into linear columns. If the rows remain aligned horizontally, the resulting ortholinear layout puts the keys on an orthogonal grid. Other designs use vertical columns with staggered rows to compensate
