I use a proper desktop when working from home, and an iPad Pro with blink+mosh+tmux to a chunky server when I'm on the move and to be honest I have no problem at all with the keyboard (only nit -- after a day or three heavy use it sometimes takes me a while to stop hitting capslock for escape on my regular keyboard when I'm home) -- What's your problem with it? Edit: Hitting the little... "world" key is sometimes quite annoying, it pops up some kind of emoji keyboard? Alas.

For Windows there's uncap <https://github.com/susam/uncap>; https://github.com/susam/uncap>; on Linux you can find it in your KDE/Gnome settings or look at the uncap Github page for other methods. Or if you do use the Caps Lock key frequently, what for?

  I just never got around to it. I have a .xmodmap somewhere which will probably do the trick. I'm using OpenBSD on the desktop :)

Mostly I didn't like the keyboard and key design. I am fine with the butterfly switches as I have them on my MBP but the rubber texture that introduces a slight wobble/tilt on the keys I found very hard to adapt too. Also lack of backlight option seems a missed opportunity considering it is powered from the iPad. Would be a nice addition. Also as mentioned in this post the lack of Escape key is frustrating. Finally the lack of angles for the iPad makes it feel old compared to the Surface Pro and ThinkPad X1 Tablet with their many angle kick stands. Microsoft's Surface Pro 6 type cover is a far superior keyboard cover than Apple's Folio one. Probably the X1 Tablet one is as well although I have not used it enough to state that for sure.
