    Exactly. The most impressive part is that it really feels like a click, down to the illusion it's moving down (but it's not, at all). When powering off (or there's a crash), the feeling of it being immovable is surreal.

    One can leverage the haptic feedback to make the TouchBar a bit more lively[0]. The illusion breaks a bit since the haptic device is farther away from the touch surface but it's still quite a transformative experience for the TB.

    What's the chance of a thicker/deeper version in the future? I'd love to see one with enough thickness to support a low profile mechanical keyboard for custom layouts.

    With my RSI, I'm almost unable to use standard laptop keyboards, so I have to travel with a split ergo keyboard. Most laptops have enough room to support a split ortho layout, but aren't thick enough (or modular enough) for enthusiasts to roll their own.

    Take a look at the Thinkeys [0] and pineapple60 [1] projects for what's possible.

  • Would anyone be interested in an Ortholinear Laptop Keyboard?

    Mentioned in other thread: my design (https://github.com/dennisleexyz/thinkeys) is for a keyboard that can be used as a split keyboard while detached from the laptop. Also mentioned (https://github.com/saoto28/pineapple60) is a layout split while inside the laptop.

    I am actively working on this. https://github.com/dennisleexyz/thinkeys (Inspired by /u/saoto28 project)

What are some alternatives?
