This is the keyboard I use with my iOS devices (though the black model, not the wood one).
Apart from looking cool and having blue mechanical switches, it can also pair with three different devices.

@vishae itā€™s always weird for me when some word matches a Swedish word (ā€œPennaā€ is the Swedish word for ā€œa penā€)

@jemostrom well I guess theyā€™re both related to writing? šŸ˜œ

@vishae yes, but it completely throws me off when I read it. Same thing when reading something in English and they start discussing ikea products. My brain starts ā€œstutteringā€ šŸ˜‹

@vishae I have the black model also. As cool as it is, I find that I rarely use it. I should give it another go.

@vasta can I ask how the Lofree keyboard is working for you? Is it made for heavy duty deskwriting?

@jack you should. I find that I like the iPad separate from the keyboard, but itā€™s still good

@vishae And it's got to be better than the one on my MBP :).

@vishae Pretty! I have two keyboards with brown switches. Love mechanical keyboards!

@jack Well thereā€™s that. Do you use a laptop stand when using an external keyboard with the MBP?

@cheri mechanical keyboards are the best! I have two Filco mechanical keyboards, one for work and one for my iMac at home. Iā€™ve always gotten blue switches but I want to try getting that [switches sampler](www.amazon.com/mechanica...

@vishae I don't. Although when using an external keyboard with the MBP it's usually closed and connected to an external monitor.

@vishae This looks great. I just got a Matias Laptop Pro keyboard to use with my MacBook Pro.

@vishae Nice! I have a DasKeyboard for my desk, and I just picked up a small E-Element Keyboard for travel. I like blue switches too, but browns are a tad quieter. I work in a shared space and try to avoid the stink eye. Browns are my compromise. šŸ˜†

@jemostrom thatā€™s interesting, Iā€™ve never thought about IKEA furniture names, what do they usually mean?

@jack haha, that makes more sense, I was trying to figure out how far your screen would be away from you if you had the MacBook Pro open and an external keyboard in front of that šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

@rishabh I actually bought one of those too, years ago, but I canā€™t remember why I didnā€™t like it. I resold it on eBay two days after I got it.
But now Iā€™ve been hearing a lot more people talking about it after Iā€™ve read Jason Snellā€™s article about it - frequency illusion maybe? Regardless, it makes me want to give that keyboard another go, along with [Jasonā€™s iPad stand](www.amazon.com/gp/produc...

@cheri ooh, I wanted a Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate, they look so nice! That E-Element keyboard does look very portable, and itā€™s very affordable too. But itā€™s a wired keyboard? So you donā€™t use it with iOS devices?

@cheri @vishae I really liked my Das with blank keys back in the day...it looks completely badass šŸ˜Ž If only theyā€™d make a small travel/iPad-friendly one.

@vishae It can be names like Billy, Algot or Nisse, places like Kallax, SjƤlland or Eneby, or words like bestƄ (= consist/remain/endure), snidad (=carved), gradvis (=gradually) or ansluta (=connect)

@jemostrom I can see how that could be strange to see. I think Iā€™ll be going into IKEA with google translate on next time.
