How thin does it have to get before everyone says "this feels shitty"? I have a few mechanical keyboards at home and at work and I can't imagine always having to use one of these new keyboards with zero throw. It makes me feel like I'm mimicking typing rather than actually doing it.
- ccday 7y agoI think we’re at that point judging by the reaction to Apple’s latest generation of keyboards and their (rumored) upcoming change.
- ctdonath 7y agoMaybe their goal is to eliminate mechanical keyboards, replaced with nothing more than textured glass. Have to train out an entire generation to get there.
- brokenmachine 7y agoIt's already shitty. Apple users will claim that mimicking typing is the new cool thing, feeling keypresses is for losers.
- CoolGuySteve 7y agoI would not be surprised if Apple releases a solid state keyboard with chiseled glass keys, haptic feedback for key presses, and an oled screen underneath. It seems like the conclusion to their “Taptic” engine, touchbar, and pressure sensitive touchscreens R&D.
- bsder 7y agoEven if it felt like garbage, that would at least be reliable ...
- kalleboo 7y agoI really like the feel of the new ultra-thin, low-throw keyboards. I don't like their poor reliability.
