Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse

Seriously. I’m really into keyboards with QMK, but I buy prebuilt keyboards and mice that are capable of running it because if using QMK required me to solder something, I wouldn’t be able to. Soldering is a skill that most people don’t have.

You don’t have to solder if you use hot swap sockets for your switches. Even if you never plan to swap the switches the hot swap sockets mean you’ll never have to solder a thing 👍

What are some examples of mass produced ones (if any)? I’ve got some fancier ones but idk if there are normal ones that are easier to buy.

  I have the ZSA Moonlander and Voyager keyboards. I like them a lot.
  
  I also have the Ploopy Adept and Nano mice that also run QMK.
  
  I bought all of them preassembled. I’d love to know what other brands are out there that sell preassembled peripherals that can run open firmware.
