System76 'Made In The USA' LAUNCH Keyboard - First Impressions!
94In this video we take a look at the System76 Launch keyboard. This keyboard is made from a solid block of aluminum and made in Denver USA. In the box is also a magnetic foot for a 15-degree incline. The keyboard is 100% open source and compatible with Linux, Windows, and macOS.
The Launch keyboard starts at $285 which begs the question whether all the features make this costly accessory worth the hefty investment? Some of the main features include increasing productivity with the ability to remap keys, swap keycaps, and configure multiple layers to your liking. Launch also uses only three keycap sizes to vastly expand your configuration options.
The small form factor mini tenkeyless (TKL) layout is meant to keep your mouse closer than ever before. Many gamers prefer the small form factor keyboards for tighter control over their gameplay and faster response time getting to keys. You also get the choice of two types of switches Royals and Jades to suite your typing feedback style.
System76 also included a Keyboard Configurator application that lets you customize the layers, RGB lights and all the settings save to the keyboard itself.
The Launch also includes a USB Hub built in so you can connect your USB C devices and USB A devices with ease.
