The latest model published as part of weteor's Orthocade family is the DigDug – following the nomenclature based on classic video games. It is another ortholinear keyboard with even more offset clusters, and 43-45 keys.

Just going with the 12u and see where I can get with it. I am used to 3x5 layouts and just wanted to add some makro keys and arrow keys without loosing the symmetry of ortho boards. Just from the looks my absolute favourite. – weteor.
