Would it be possible to get a typing sound sample? I know that the description mentions quiet, but I think being able to hear what actual typing sounds like would go a long way towards making me pull the trigger on this.

@loong_darren Thanks! I fear that the blue switches will cause my parter who's finishing law school to murder me. Are there any plans for a red/clear switch in the future? She'd greatly appreciate it. 😂

@seanwashington Currently we don't have a plan for it, but if there is enough demand, we will definitely consider, as we need to place a bulk order like 1k pcs to factory each time, we need to be careful of the cash flow. In case of emergency, you can call the police to prevent you get murder first 🙈

So, these mechanical keyboards are what type of low profile switches are used by Cherry MX, Kailh / Kaihua, or perhaps Romer-G Tactile, Romer-G Linear?

@babken_karapetyan @loong_darren Did you build your own switches?

@babken_karapetyan I am not very clear, those Gateron and Cherry mx switch keyboards shows on our comparison video are traditional switch, but not low profile switch.

I'm thinking to pledge for the mid-size model, but I have a question: It's only available with the US layout?

I'm also wondering about the keycaps. Is it a type that we can easily replace? Also, will the keyboards be coming with both Mac and Windows keycaps?

@mrletter The keycaps are replaceable but only for low profile switch keycaps. We are considering to offer additional keycaps for Windows, probably as stretch goal, we will announce an update in coming week.

I run a Linux distro on my 4th Gen X1 Carbon. First, I can't imagine why there would be any issues with Linux -- correct? Also, would it actually offer a better typing experience than my ThinkPad? Or did you set the bar lower at Macs? And, what's the point of the ultra-slim design if it's not particularly portable? Is it just supposed to look nice?

@cacarr For Linux, we didnt officially test it, but the Keytron works great on Mac and Windows system. If you use the keyboard on your ThinkPad, it suppose to be a rubber dome keyboard, then, our low profile switch will optimise your typing experience. Ultra-slim of Keytron is made because we want to create a slimmer keyboard with good tactile feeling, mechanical keyboard on the market are mostly bulky. We also have a plan in mind to create a portable keyboard in the future.

@loong_darren If it's that thin, I'm skeptical that the tactile feeling is much if any better than a ThinkPad keyboard (although I have no doubt it's way better than any Mac keyboard) -- what's the travel, and how much pressure is required?

I have already pledged for the 104-key model this morning and now they are here in #1 Product Hunt! What a coincidence. I am so excited to try this keyboard on my Mac.

Pros:

Wireless, Looks sleek, has a better function button location, screenshot shortcut button, and has a number pad, I needed it the most.

Cons:

The battery life could be improved
