High Keycap Compatibility

Comfy Thumbs has the highest keycap compatibility of any column-staggered board. Space and Backspace are the only keys that are not traditionally-sized. That means you won't need to buy/use different keycaps for Right Shift, Left Shift, Enter, Tab, \ , Command, Ctrl, Alt, OS, and Application keys. Just chose any Standard ANSI keycap set (99% of keycap sets), and you're good to go!.

Use your thumbs without hurting them

Unlike other large thumb cluster designs that waste valuable space by pushing the cluster away from resting thumb position or building the cluster on a convex plane, all thumb keys are within 1u radius of resting position. The thumbs naturally rest on either Space or Backspace, with Shift, Ctrl, Alt and OS nearby. There are two thumb rows; Space, Backspace, and both Shift keys have a higher profile on the upper thumb row to distinguish thumb location by feel.

Comfy Thumbs = Comfy Pinkies

Your pinkies have been doing way more work than they should. That's why modifiers have moved to the thumb cluster. Adding to that, the index fingers have a new inner column for Tab, \ , -, =, [ and ].
