i mean it's pretty nice for a laptop keyboard, but i've never thought of it as good enough to use externally tbh

or do you mean integrating it into a different laptop a la framework? that could be cool, but would also have to think how much the chassey stiffness/specific construction contributes to the feel

p.s. has anybody here tried (the external) magic trackpad? the macbook trackpad is infuriatingly good

I have the external Magic Trackpad. It is wonderful. I use it with my split Moonlander keyboard, and keep it in the middle. I honestly can't use a normal keyboard now, MacBook Pro included.

  • Anecdotal but I never had more hand pain than when I ordered a Magic Trackpad and tried to commit to it. Pretty bad cramps after a few weeks.

I have a magic keyboard for my studio, bloody expensive, but I just love the ergonomics and feel compared to my two TKL (really nice) mechanical keyboards.
