If you're talking about the tucked-in arrow keys, you'd be surprised how quickly you adapt. I've gotten so used to it that the more spaced-out configuration feels unnatural to me at this point. I don't think I'm alone, as I'm seeing this layout more and more.

Give it a try (maybe not on something as expensive as this is!) Maybe you'll like it and it'll open up more options for you.

I have an ortholinear kit I built but it's caseless so it's not suuuper portable. Which Planck do you recommend? I'd be willing to give a 40% a try even if it's not for this trip. I'm okay with soldering if it's a kit and/or there's decent instructions.

Hi all, I'm looking for a keyboard for travel that will be quiet enough not to bother folks on a train. Ideally I'd like a mechanical keyboard, but I'm curious what experiences folks have with low-profile switches in a quiet environment. My current daily driver (silent switches, a fair bit of foam and lube, etcetc) is what I would consider office-quiet, but you can definitely hear when I get going and I feel like it'd be a little rude on a leisure train trip.

Right now I'm looking at the nuphy and keychron low-profile keyboards, but I'm open to other options. Currently for travel I use a foldable membrane keyboard so just about anything would be an upgrade.

Does anyone have experience with low-profile keyboards? Are there silent options? Thanks in advance for your help!

Edit: realize I should have specified that I prefer 65 and 60-key layouts for portability.

This was just so sad to read about when it happened. I felt bad for the intern: one arguably small mistake led to such terrible consequences. I felt really bad for Hickam too; he tried to help the intern but I don't know what came of it.
