I wonder if anyone has hacked it (in the "Hacker News" sense of hack) so that the above keyboard can be used in an external casing, without inserting it into the Macbook body. I'd pay a lot of money for that. The Magic Keyboard is different.

i mean it's pretty nice for a laptop keyboard, but i've never thought of it as good enough to use externally tbh

or do you mean integrating it into a different laptop a la framework? that could be cool, but would also have to think how much the chassey stiffness/specific construction contributes to the feel

p.s. has anybody here tried (the external) magic trackpad? the macbook trackpad is infuriatingly good
