So I bought one of these and while the Touch ID functionality is amazing, it absolutely blows as a keyboard…how do Apple employees that use mac desktops even type on these things day to day?
They’re just god awful, coming from a keyboard with mechanical switches…
Has anyone managed to do a transplant of the controller / Touch ID button into a proper mechanical keyboard chassis?
I saw this post on Twitter, this guy took it apart and just uses the Touch ID button by itself and uses a Keychron keyboard for his actual keyboard, lol
Seriously though this would be an awesome project / video for someone that has the resources — take the Touch ID magic keyboard and figure out a way to transplant it inside of a KeyChron or some other enthusiast grade keyboard, I would absolutely pay whatever the asking price for such a keyboard
I am definitely not a keyboard expert but it would stand to reason that there should be some possible way to get the controller / brain of the Magic Keyboard to work with mechanical switches 🤷♂️
