You mean like, a PS/2 keyboard or what are you on about? Any bluetooth or usb keyboard works on any regular mac.

> - macOS gets more iOS-ified with each release and some people don’t like that

Again, what are you on about? A hackintosh is running a just as ios-ivied macOS as a regular mac.

I believe GP refers to the crapboards in the recent MacBook Pro lineup, which are amazingly bad. Also, IIRC Apple doesn't offer a real wired keyboard anymore.

The “crapboards” are very much a case of YMMV. I much prefer the one on the new MBPs to the spongy abomination that is the current Thinkpad keyboard.

Correct. That was my intent.

I'm typing this on my dasKeyboard plugged into my (well, work's) MBP. Sadly bought just a couple of months before the 6-core i9's became available.

I think he's implying that you would run an older, less iOS-ified version of MacOS on the Hackintosh.

No, peatmoss's argument is to not use macOS because (among other reasons) Apple is making it less desirable (iOS-ifying it). Don't use it on Apple hardware, don't use it on hackintosh hardware.

You can still do the same on mac hardware though.

You are arguing against a point the parent doesn't make, they are arguing against using Hackintoshes at all. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17709707
