iphone is now a unit of measurement? ugh
It's better than football fields though
Or washing machines
How many bananas is that?
I don't see anything like QMK but I do see a "Lofree Configurator," so this will be a hard no from me. Looks really cool though.
I'm not sure but it seems the CHERRY KW X ULP is as slim or slimmer, while it uses mechanical scissor switches instead of classical mechanical ones they are still mechanical.
What are mechanical scissor switches? I've never heard of them.

Ah, so horizontal spring versus vertical spring
What's this then?
9mm split keyboard

Is the one you linked mechanical? I wasn't sure
Nope
Good question 🤔 Are mechanical keyboards the loud ones? Or are there keyboards that work with magnets or something as opposed to mechanically making contact with the circuit board?

I think you answered your own question, but just to be sure, they're the loud ones
Yeah, it's possible to have a discussion with somebody in the room while typing on the R-Go keyboard. Probably not mechanical then.

I think the board is not super loud and sounds pretty good stock.
The reviews are hilarious
🤔 which ones? From what I'm reading mac has problems (no surprise there; if it ain't Malus, you're SOL), some dude spilled stuff over his keyboard, another didn't read the guide on which cables to connect and trashed his keyboard by throwing it into his backpack with cables still attached, others aren't used to split keyboards (took me about an hour to get used to it), and so on.

Do you work for the split keyboard company?
Nope. Should I?
