Re:Ask HN: What's the best desktop keyboard for Mac users? on Wednesday May 30, 2018 @03:27PM (#17190904)
I love the Kinesis ergo keyboards, but also the ThinkPad bluetooth keyboard (no reaching for the mouse = less wrist pain).

Also a fan of WASD's keyboards, but keep in mind that their custom keycaps seem to wear down pretty fast.

Check https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/ for pretty much any/all options on the keyboard front.

Even though it's not a mac, I just bought the latest Thinkpad X1 and love it- the keyboard is a million times better than the current MBP keyboards and it's tiny/light/fast, plus has USB-C charging so I can use the MBP chargers and stuff.

the posix personality still exists - it's called SUA; the Subsystem for UNIX Applications. the guys at interop systems have made a really nice ports-esque system for it so it's easy to get up and running with the usual pile of apps.
Sounds like SPOOKS!
