I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard
Looks really nice BUT:<p>There's a split between what people online post pics of on fancy desktop setups and what people prefer to use as their daily driver. Minimal keyboards are for minimalists, and people who like to show of their setups. Just like desktop vanity posts typically have speakers, yet everyone uses headphones.<p>Anecdotally there was a post recently on some PC subreddit asking what keyboard people preferred, and the overwhelming support was for 100%+ keyboards. Only people who didn't WFH much, or didn't have jobs involving any data entry at all could do without a numpad.<p>So, make a full version? People might think they're a bit ugly, but they're popular despite people being less willing to show off a massive keyboard.<p>You're right about the damn 'gamer' look though. The only good thing about the gamer look is that I will trust it has decent switches in it.
