You don't associate mechanical keyboards with sleek portability... and you don't associate portable compact keyboards with great tactile feedback or mechanical travel. Lofree's somehow managed to blur both those worlds into a keyboard that offers the best typing experience while weighing just a poun...
iphone is now a unit of measurement? ugh
It's better than football fields though
Or washing machines
Hey, they started with millimeters so any additional info is kinda passable (in my books) as a visual / imagination stimulus.
Sometimes it can be really helpful, like with the distance from Earth to Moon, almost 385 000 km — that’s yeah, a lot, this gives the facts.
..but, when I found out that all the planets from our solar system packed next to each other would fit into this gap with some space to spare — this gives the perspective.
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.

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?
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.
