Re: Industrial design files for Keychron keyboards and mice
#152A Keychron has always been a great introduction for friends that want a good home desk setup without too much fuss. I have stuck with the System76 Launch keyboard but I basically always consider Keychron first when looking.
I recently bought a Keychron, but I'm not wildly enthusiastic yet. It's very thick; much thicker than the 2002 Dell keyboard it's replacing. And the key press feels very spongy. I suspect I might prefer clacky keyboards after all.
Yeah I would certainly only recommend a hotswap model, even if someone isn't into keyswitches that much, they still probably have a preferred feel that they want to go for.

did WASD do it when they folded?
I wish, I will need new feet for my CODE soon. Plus my cases latching tabs are about half gone.
if it helps, I found Epomaker like the Galaxy70 were a fine replacement, with some specialty switches like the TTC Bluish White V2 (silent tactile).

#154The Keychron K4/related (K4 HE here) compact 96% layout is definitely my favorite keyboard layout. Just a solid brick of keys.
Why do you like rhe 96% layout? I prefer the full space, recently upgraded to a Q6 Ultra, I’m really happy I can get a wireless version of most of their models these days.
It's just keys, nothing else. I don't use any tactile or visual guides when I type and go off pure muscle memory, so all the spacing in traditional layouts is useless for me.

#155Sort of tangent - but I've always thought there would be physical stores in big cities (like NYC, where I am) where I could try a number of different keyboards and keys since it's such a tactile experience. But there seems to be no stores like this? So... is everyone ordering keys and keyboards, returning them, trying others, etc.? I know there are key switch samplers... is that it? Thanks
Yeah, this is a US issue. If you go to Tokyo or Taipei, you will find physical stores in cities with many different kind of mechanical keyboards.
I almost purchased a mechanical keyboard (with the wrong layout) from a Bic Camera [1] just because they offered in-store access to the keyboards.

If you need to be an attorney to figure out if you're allowed to take a picture of something, we've already jumped the shark.
Not what he asked.
I mean maybe if you take a super pedantic, weaponized autism type of interpretation of the very first question, sure.
