Designed by Lukas F. Hartmann and Ana Dantas of MNT Research GmbH., the MNT Reform comes with a quite uncommon but reasonable staggering, and low-profile switches and caps.
While the MNT Reform is offered as a pre-built product, it's also open-hardware – which is a very sympathetic business model.
Starting out as an offspring of the similarly open-hardware MNT Reform laptop, the standalone MNT Reform USB keyboard features low-profile Choc switches and MBK keycaps.
In addition, it sports a simplified horizontal staggering of 0.5u offset (just like my vintage Reuters trading keyboard), resulting in only two different keycap sizes: 1u and 1.5u.
This makes the layout symmetric and the level of ulnar deviation the same for both hands.
