Cool stuff.

I have a Keychron that I love. I have a jar full of replacement switches, so I suspect that I won’t need to get a new keyboard, anytime soon.

I have an Apple Touch ID keyboard, that I use only for Touch ID. I don’t like it, otherwise. I’ve always wondered why Apple doesn’t ship (or license) a simple standalone Touch ID pad. They could probably get a decent premium for it.

That said, like a lot of open-source libraries, I appreciate the gesture, but will likely always use the built product. It’s just that hardware has a habit of “aging out,” so this is a way to ensure that a legacy product can remain viable, even after discontinuation.

You can make your own touch id pad if so inclined.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzB6m2VTxAg

Yeah, that’s cool, but too much like work for me. The keyboard thing is a bit awkward, but manageable. I keep it in my keyboard tray (which I never use for a keyboard, otherwise).
