Nearfield

The LZ ErGO is a classic ergonomic design, predating the alice layout, and drawing inspiration from the "Microsoft natural ergonomic" series. Nearfield expands on this by increasing the rotation of the two halves of the alpha cluster, each half is rotated 15 degrees towards the center of the board. This increased angle forces the user to widen their elbow stance, and align their hands straighter with their forearms while typing.

Aesthetic design: Aside from the obvious layout homage to the ergo, retaining the nav cluster, the case design draws inspiration from the M0110 keyboard series from Apple.
