The Lowfree Flow84 is the mechanical keyboard Apple would make today

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-03-07 06:00:00

The Lowfree Flow84 is the latest episode in my on-again, off-again love affair with mechanical keyboards. I describe it as the mechanical keyboard Apple would make for a mix of good and bad reasons, but we’ll get to that! It’s one of a relatively new breed of low-profile mechanical keyboards, something that would have seemed a contradiction in terms just a few years earlier … What’s a mechanical keyboard anyway? Given that Apple-style chiclet keyboards now dominate the market, and many Mac us

As a child of the '90s few things get my nerd brain tingling like good ol' Super Mario. Even hearing my best friend's Mario-themed phone notifications take me back to a simpler time. So it's no surprise that I completely nerded out when I saw 8BitDo's Retro Mechanical Keyboard decked out in Mario colors. A solid mechanical keyboard with a heavy dose of nostalgia? Count me in. If the Mario theme isn't up your alley, the Retro is available in a few different versions, each pulling something from

How to build the best keyboard in the world

theverge.com Nathan Edwards 2026-03-17 12:00:00

The term “endgame,” among keyboard enthusiasts, is sort of a running gag. Endgame is when you finally dial in your perfect layout, case, features, switches, and keycaps, so you can stop noodling around with parts and get on with whatever it is you actually use the keyboard for — work, presumably. Then a few months later you see something shiny and start over. In the search for endgame, most of us have to compromise somewhere — usually time or money.

Norbauer Seneca review: a $3,600 luxury keyboard for the keyboard obsessed

theverge.com Nathan Edwards 2026-03-17 12:00:00

Some people can tell great wine from okay wine. They go on wine tastings, take wine tours. They tend to spend more money on wine than most. I am not one of those people. I can tell wine from vinegar if you show me the bottle. I am just a little bit obsessed with keyboards, though. I have spent the past couple of months typing on the Seneca, a fully custom capacitive keyboard that starts at $3,600 and might be the best computer keyboard ever built.

ProtoArc XKM01 CaseUp Combo Review: A Reliable Portable Workstation

The mouse is perfectly adequate too. It's slim but provides enough palm support that my hand doesn't feel like it's cramping up. The scroll wheel and buttons are smooth and responsive. After a short time, I noticed a strange, squeaky noise coming from the left side whenever I'd click. It's not always there, but it's slightly annoying whenever it comes back. Like the keyboard, it charges via USB-C but has a slightly longer battery life of up to 200 days (standby time). The stand is super adjusta
