It all depends on what sort of mashup you want exactly. Keep in mind that some of the official cornes have a break-off 6th column so you can get close to the same key count as a Sweep (36 instead of 34). Here are some that might come close.
There's a habit among ergo keyboard enthusiasts to refer to columnar staggered keyboards as "ortholinear". Ortholinear became a term for anything that's not row staggered like a traditional keyboard, even though it's not technically correct.
Columnar stagger is a more corrrect term for stuff like corne or sweep.
I mean I get it. I could switch between an ortho and a collumnar stagger pretty easily, but every time I have to type on a "normal" keyboard I fall flat on my face.
The OP means the similar vertical offsets as it's found on the corne (3/8u for the pinky and 1/8u for the rest, I believe).
You could use a corne and break off the outer column
Yes that's what I am gonna try now. Thanks. Just don't know what to do with the two extra keys... ;)
Corne-ish Zen?

Nice. Thanks
have you considered just building a corne, snapping off the 6th column (as most corne PCBs allow) and only soldering 2 of keys in the thumb cluster?
(it's 34, btw, the sweep has 34 keys)
Yes. Ordered a Corne. Will break of the outer column. And thanks for the correction. Updated the post
When you say "stagger", do you mean not-ortholinear? If so, I'm confused as both the Sweep and Corne are ortholinear.

Yes. Correct. I mixed it up again. I mean the vertical offset of course. Thanks for clarifying.
no they aren't, they're colstaggered.
