P7Pro has a larger screen at a higher resolution which will consume significantly more power. I’m sure some part of it is also due to inefficiency of the Tensor processor

Not knocking the technology at all, it really can be life-changing for people with Parkinson’s disease. But it’s been around for a while, it was approved in the US by the FDA in the late 90s. A chip is not implanted, but rather electrodes in the brain that connect to the controller elsewhere.

Yeah the big draw of custom keyboards for me was trying different switches, so hot swap was a must. I already have more switches than I need. If I could do it over again, I would have first invested in a switch tester

I have no plans to buy any more boards anytime soon. I’m not a huge fan of the taller keycap profile of the Keychron, but I’ll give it some time before considering different keycaps

It’s the 1st generation Google Pixel Stand, a wireless phone charger. Overpriced and not worth the money since I prefer wired charging to maximize battery longevity

Oh no, I’m not ready for that yet. I’d never be able to use a random qwerty keyboard again

Still deciding. I’m relatively new to the hobby so still getting a feel for different switches. I’ve only recently become a fan of linears after discovering heavy linears, and now going back to tactiles feels so crunchy. The bananas have a very light bump at the top, so once you pop through that, they just feel like smooth linears. The bump for me basically serves to prevent accidental key presses when resting my fingers on the keys.

I’m sure it’ll happen eventually, but at the moment I don’t see the big advantage to anything smaller than a 75%. It makes sense to reduce the length of a board to make more mouse space, but reducing the height (or depth I guess?) doesn’t seem as important and removes some functionality. Sure, it looks nice and compact, but form follows function
