http://youtu.be/fdRSMqbOZKc?si=pQj5NaJNq3ANufbX Some people consider computer keyboards to just be tools you have to bear with, but those who live and die by typing on a computer know just how important the design of a keyboard is. That's why a lot of writers, developers, and even gamers prefer mechanical keyboards not just because of their sharp

      Hey, they started with millimeters so any additional info is kinda passable (in my books) as a visual / imagination stimulus.

      Sometimes it can be really helpful, like with the distance from Earth to Moon, almost 385 000 km — that’s yeah, a lot, this gives the facts.

      …but, when I found out that all the planets from our solar system packed next to each other would fit into this gap with some space to spare — this gives the perspective.

    I don’t see anything like QMK but I do see a “Lofree Configurator,” so this will be a hard no from me. Looks really cool though.

    I’m not sure but it seems the CHERRY KW X ULP is as slim or slimmer, while it uses mechanical scissor switches instead of classical mechanical ones they are still mechanical.

        https://www.cherry-world.com/mx-ulp-click These are the ones used, I think currently only Cherry produces any like these.

        Good question 🤔 Are mechanical keyboards the loud ones? Or are there keyboards that work with magnets or something as opposed to mechanically making contact with the circuit board?

          I think you answered your own question, but just to be sure, they’re the loud ones

            Yeah, it’s possible to have a discussion with somebody in the room while typing on the R-Go keyboard. Probably not mechanical then.

              I think the board is not super loud and sounds pretty good stock.

        🤔 which ones? From what I’m reading mac has problems (no surprise there; if it ain’t Malus, you’re SOL), some dude spilled stuff over his keyboard, another didn’t read the guide on which cables to connect and trashed his keyboard by throwing it into his backpack with cables still attached, others aren’t used to split keyboards (took me about an hour to get used to it), and so on.
