- Choc keycaps that are shorter than MBKs? Or maybe a smart way to modify MBK keycaps?

I'm also very skeptical, especially about the thickness. 22 mm for both halves, that's 11 mm per half. Know what else is 11 mm? Kailh choc v1 switches, top of the stem to bottom of the contacts. Not including keycaps and a bottom case. So either they're not using chocs, or they're clipping them. Either way, what is the hot swappability for? Not like you can get a variety of choc minis or the scissor switches, or expect end users to cut up their switches. The smallest keyboard I know is this: https://github.com/crides/fusion using choc minis for a 23 mm thickness when collapsed.

Are there switches smaller/more narrow than standard 1u keys? What would you use?
Horizontal spacing reduction is not worth, as long as it corresponds to your resting position it's fine (vertical for thumb); vertical spacing reduction is worth if you have skinny fingers like me, and especially helps to reduce the overall keyboard size. Been using a 13.5mm vertically spaced board for half a year, the stretch to reach keys is definitely nicer (especially for pinky), with little difference in speed

Ergo keyboard like kinesis freestyle but for travel ?
The best travel design I've seen lately is this one but it isn't truly split. Although being split might be a slight disadvantage for a travel board since you can't comfortably use it in your lap.

Long time no post to reddit: Daily driven boards
I haven't actually posted to Reddit for a while (other than comments that is), and I thought I should. I've been daily driving these 2 boards for a bit, the Fissure v3.2 and the Fusion. Both boards are fully BLE, and of course following my tradition on using the embedded steno engine.
- Favorite lightweight travel keyboard?

LPX looks good

Choc Vs. Mx for ergonomics
Look at the LPX profile, which was designed with tight dactyls in mind. The keycap is like 16x16 but does not feel more cramped than other choc profiles. https://github.com/levpopov/LPX

My TBK Mini Dactyl Build w/ printed keycaps
Check out LDSA by lowprokb. They arent available for sale yet but the owner released the .stl files on their discord. I cant wait so I've been test printing some in different configurations and as an mt3 enjoyer theyre awesome. LPX keycaps by lev popov has a good writeup on how to and what to look out for when printing caps. Printing them at an angle made so much of a difference.
