#5When I saw the usb hub I was shocked at how advanced it would be. I thought he'd just throw down a high speed at best simple thing.

I also thought it was a laptop doing computations with the movements of pressing of keys.
I love mechanical keyboards, but not enough to carry the weight of one in a laptop. The engineering is still very cool.
I just want everyone to make arrow keys regular-sized and not Apple-sized.

#8There's a couple threads on the Framework forums with ~100 ortholinear keyboard users asking for Framework to release an ortholinear keyboard. I'm sure they're all feeling very envious of this flurpes guy.
