Thinkpad to framework migrants, how do you like the keyboard?

So after testing a while around i want to chime in.
I do have a Thinkpad work laptop (X1 extreme i think) and for a while used an usb Thinkpad keyboard. Furthermore i have had some random 14 inch Clevo laptop before.

The Framework keyboard is worse than the Thinkpad and the Clevo, not by a lot but still worse. I have typed on waaaay worse laptop keyboards. The are a bit too flat for me, but its a tiny, highly tranportable laptop.

My dream setup would be a laptop that had a full low profile mechanical keyboard like the Keychron K3 i use on my Desktop…but integrating that one in a laptop would add a solid cm of height i fear.

While i write this, i could actually measure the “quality” of the keyboard by using Monkeytype on a bunch of keyboards and see how well i fare.
