Hello I was wondering if any of you are using a Chromebook with a "real" keyboard? :P And of any of you can let me know of any KB's that don't work..
 I went to best buy with some keyboards to test some work some don't, >.< oh well but ya that would be great! I'm going to buy one but I want to know I can use a nice 60%.
 Also I would love to see pics of your setup with a chrome book. plz and tnx

I've used a Pure and a Siig Minitouch with my CR48 so far. No issues at all. Don't have a picture right now though :(

Hi, first post for me. I've used my chromebook pixel with all my keyboards without any problem, currently using it with a fc660c.

They exist.

What we need to invent is a dimensionally transcendental laptop.

This is one of the smallest mechanical switches I've seen so far for a laptop, but I don't know how it feels: Alps ultra low profile — but unlike most of the alternatives, this one is reported to be clicky.

Something else that people have asked for is a mechanical keyboard "cover" for the MS Surface Pro.
Any mech keyboard can be used with a tablet already, but...

For a DIY project, I wonder if it would not be easier to take a vintage laptop that already has a decent mechanical keyboard and put modern innards in it. Lots of work would have to be done on the case, though.
