System76 Talks Up Their Forthcoming Linux Keyboard

[Mechanix]

If you're desperate, SK 8855 already exists, but has been out of production for a while and used ones tend to be too expensive for that they are.

I own one, it is nice. My daughter hogs it.

You've tried TypeMatrix?

Got one ! Not perfect, yet much better than standard.
We need someone to show the way in the laptop market. There's no reason not to.

Orthogonal/matrix keyboard please.
Screw the typewriter inheritance.

I'm surely not the only developer here who uses a Kinesis Advantage2 keyboard. I've been using it or one of its predecessors since the mid-90s.

Buckling spring, please.

Unless someone designs such switches in a standard housing, it makes little sense to make such a design as it locks you out from different switches with different feel. I'm not interested in a keyboard that's not linear as I don't like having any tactile bump when I type.

I'll pay money for a good scissor-switch keyboard with a solid full-metal chassis (not Apple's half-hearted nonsense with a metal shell on top and a plastic base), white LED key backlighting and a trackpoint.

What the hell, i hope it's not a mechanical keyboard with RGB gamerfaggotry vomited all over it.

Make a copy of MS ergonomic keyboard 4000 with mechanical cherry blue switches and I'll be happy like a pig in the shite

'blue'? - 'brown'!

They do? Every time I open a System76 article, it's nothing but "OH GOOD, MORE CLEVO REBRANDING!!!". Don't get me wrong: I love System76, but they don't make many products themselves...

to a certein extend yes. but desktop (thelios case), software is good and their spirit is right - afaik they are about to develop their own non clevo lineup.... I'm sure this will take some time.
