Can't imagine coding without a good keyboard though. And mobile mechanical keyboards are too heavy to carry around.
It should be great for debugging random server problems while on vacation though.

- aj3 5y agoAll the good mechanical bluetooth keyboards I know are almost as heavy as this console. Is there anything actually portable in this form factor?

- zzt123 5y agoCurious, why the insistence on mechanical for a portal keyboard? Perhaps I’m atypical, but I type more relaxed, smoothly, and faster on non-mechanical than mechanical. Point of comparison is 150-175 wpm on laptop keyboards as opposed to 120-145 on mechanical. I’ve owned many mechanical keyboards, including very high end ones, and remain mystified about their aura.
- hawski 5y agoMost programmers out there probably use stock keyboards. It may be not good enough for you, but others could be happy.
- BatteryMountain 5y agoIt supports usb type c docks, which my mic, keyboard, mouse already uses to switch between my main rig and a macbook. And I have a bluetooth mouse of that fails. Obviously not going to try be productive with an onscreen keyboard and 7" screen - will use it with peripherals in those cases.
- swiley 5y agoI code on the train using xvkbd on my pinephone. You get used to it. A good editor like vim helps a lot. You're spending most of the time thinking not typing.
- guidopallemans 5y agoGet yourself a small bluetooth keyboard, there's even mechanical full-size keyboards that can fit in a medium-sized bag. I got myself an Anne Pro 2 from banggood for 65 euros and I take it everywhere. It connects to my laptop, tablet and phone.
- swiley 5y agoI have a k380 which is about the same size, I stopped bringing it because it's just another thing to deal with.
