      I had a Logitech K750 for more than a decade, and finally died last year. I wanted to buy whatever the current wireless Logitech with scissor mechanism, but Logitech dropped support for my native language: I need a keyboard with Hungarian QWERTZ layout. On their new keyboards they just get the English ISO and add the local characters as stickers! But they don’t cover the English character but add the local next to it. This is how it looks on a 100€+ keyboard:

      Notice the double parenthesis: on this layout parenthesis are shift+8-9, but on English is shift+9-0

      By comparison this is how it looks like on a Keychron B6 Pro, the one I bought instead:

      Enjoy it while it lasts.

      They’re now big retail as of the past few months. The slow march to enshittification is highly likely. Whatever boards we have now are probably the best boards they will ever make.

        i actually enjoy ditching brands that enshittify, and then naming and shaming them at every opportunity

        bring it on

        Luckily with the open source firmware, their existing keyboards are pretty immune to enshittification. Still not looking forward to it happening, but there’s less risk in their keyboards than in any closed source company

              Literally thought the same thing.

              I bought a Q6 Max at Microcenter a few months back. The box was definitely funky, had a little paper sheath around the whole thing. Got another one through retail and the box was completely different. Looked more standard/normal, which sure that’s great… but it does show some change in the supply chain.

              Keychron is really good and I love what they do and all I can hope is that they stick to high quality. I don’t care if the price is kinda nuts so long as there’s no cut corners.
