I love keyboards. Specifically I love remapping them with Karabiner to extend them to do more awesome things for me.

I am currently using builtin 2018 MacBook keyboard and love it. I love the low key travel as I get tired typing on most mechanical keyboards. The only thing I would change from that keyboard would be split space key into two keys for more remapping awesomeness.

Notes

• Gateron Browns low key travel mech switches maybe are nice. Need something low key travel ala macbook.

Interesting keyboards

• ​Keyboardio​

• ​42 - Custom keyboard built by Angelo.

• ​Preonic - Beautiful keyboard.

• ​Preonic Light - IMO better than Preonic. Would be even nicer with Kailh switches & it being wireless.

• ​Dactyl Keyboard - Parameterized ergonomic keyboard.

• ​Corne keyboard - Split keyboard with 3x6 column staggered keys and 3 thumb keys. (Reddit)

• ​Redox - Ergonomic split mechanical keyboard.

• ​Helix - Compact split ortholinear keyboard.

Interesting keycaps

• ​Kailh Low Profile Keycaps - Blank - Low key & awesome.
