It's a less extreme version of something like this: https://youtu.be/8wZ8FRwOzhU
Weird keyboards solve individual problems.
Split (like Alice and 2 piece boards) can help wrist angle.
65 and 40 assume that you prefer portability or less hand travel, but are ok with layers to enable them. I skip 60 because you get no size benefit, but lose the arrows, don't see the point in those.
Ortho straightens finger motion, but makes alt-fingering harder. With staggered, each finger can hit 5 keys, 3 with ortho, but with no bending.
