I tried it today at the Maker Faire. It was very nice - the Pi was snappy and the keyboard I wish I could just buy as a keyboard. Low profile but incredibly, gloriously, perfectly clicky! The framework laptop with the NVIDIA GPU looked nice too, but man that pi 500+ keyboard was soooo enjoyable.

- boneitis 1y agoYou might check out the Keychron K3. The 500+ looks (at least, in the photos) so much like my K3 that I thought at first it was a collab with Keychron. If you're looking at configurations that look very different aesthetically, keep in mind you can replace with aftermarket keycaps. There are several variants of the "K3"; some configurations will have swappable switches, others not. Beware. If you want software hackability as well, you'd probably go with one of the QMK/VIA versions.
