I have but I didn't consider them because retailers don't carry them and I'm not buying a laptop I've never tried typing on to make sure the keyboard isn't ass.
I own a 13" AMD version, the keyboard is very good.
I've heard all sorts of bad advice on various keyboards/hardware from other people. I don't trust anyone's judgement but my own when it comes to that.
The trouble with other people's recs is taste. What you think is an awesome keyboard I might hate and vice versa, your right you really need to test drive it urself to decide. Otherwise it's like buying a car you have never sat in sight unseen and praying it's as good as people tell you.
Yeah. I get the feeling most people are willing to settle for a lower standard or are looking for different things in a product than I am, if they're even critical of the things they buy at all. It explains how enshittification has been so successful.
Framework's keyboard is widely considered to be one of the best laptop keyboards available on the market, based on loads of reviews and personal opinions shared online (and my own experience).
Probably not relevant right now, but in the worst case, if you got one and hated it, they have a 30-day return policy.
