Their video on YouTube, in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vW12gQ4Klc

Does anyone know which keys/switches out there sound like this one? It's got a soft cheery non-intrusive sound that I really like compared to the usual louder mechanical keys/switches that I hear in videos.

Best keyboard I have very used was at a random data center and I would swear it was using alps switches. They feel more like snapping a glass rod.

Lube them manually (by yourself or someone else)

If anyone's interested in something way faster that still lets you go one handed. Take a look at the charachorder. You can type one handed, or easily rip 200wpm with 2 hands. But it does take like a year to get fast. I was coming from a moonlander tho so I was ready

Year seems not worth it: all the time spent on learning just won’t pay off unless you’re a school or college student

Okay I must say, the production quality of that video is insane.

Feels like HTX blew up out of nowhere with a ton of long form content at once, but they were huge in Chinese social media already, and finally decided to start translating previous content to english and uploading to Youtube.

I saw the keyboard to be operated by the left hand only and here is my (totally personal and somewhoat adjacent) problem with it. My left hand is the one which has suffered the most the many hours of using a keyboard over the last +-25 years. While the right hand has the occasional break from the keyboard when using the mouse, the left hand is constantly glued to the keyboard. It also has a much tougher job - all the…

They started with the left hand as requested, but made right hand version as well.

I wish these were also commercially available... I'd love to pay for one of these... I know it's open sources, but I don't know the language nor do I have the skills to construct one myself.

I've sent money to creators on YouTube/Instagram, but my employer at the time had government contracts, so it's it fair to say the US government funds Factorio video content?
