     @foone I didn’t know you used a Mac.

     @foobarsoft nah it's a dell system proudly running windows, but clearly they've been spying on Apple's homework

     @er1 ironically, since I'm only looking into this out of a plan to make my own keyboard and soldier it in

     @foone@digipres.club At least you don't have to use a soldering iron?

     this isn't removing the keyboard from the computer, this is removing the computer from the keyboard!

     @maxh Apparently they use a different screw arrangement on that model!
