No you cannot. When you first use the keyboard it feels amazing[-]. That doesn’t stop it from being hot garbage, sadly.

[-]:If you are interested in shallow throw and uniform, lack of pitch, keyboards. Which the keyboard snobs will tell you is not an aesthetic configuration possible in that space, but they would be wrong.

Took me a while to get used to it, but I feel like it’s less damaging with me typing all day. It’s also a fun keyboard. Very clicky.

AFAIK it's actually more damaging; the short travel times mean that a keystroke is much more impactful and stresses your fingers more.

This seems to assume you press short- and long-travel keys with the same force.

You can't perfectly modulate your force. A long travel-distance keyboard gives you flexibility to make mistakes.
