I have a Havit keyboard, while I love the action, it hasn't lasted very well; the 10-key and arrow keys are starting to die. Does anyone have a mechanical keyboard they recommend? I'd prefer one on the quiet side so I can type while on a video meeting and not have it picked up by the mic.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/43270/this-is-the-next-gen-ford-ranger As usual, the US won't get the good stuff like the diesel engines and it's doubtful we will get the manual transmission, no word yet on EV or hybrid variants. If Ford follows their past pattern, they will launch with the...

https://riders.drivemag.com/news/the-160-hp-bmw-m1300gs-fancy-one-of-these/ TL;DR - BMW is trying to take over the vacancy left by the Multistrada when it moved to a 19" front wheel. There is more substance to the rumor after this concept render was revealed to have been commissioned for BMW...

My brother is kind of a dumbass. A few months ago he drove his Xterra ('08, MT, essentially the same one I have but newer and without the good stereo) home from the desert in 4WD and I think drove it several days like that. He messaged me saying it was broken because it was handling funny; not...

https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/ford-bronco-hybrid-owners-manual-leaked/ The owners manual for a hybrid Ford Bronco has been leaked online, supporting the rumors of a hybrid powertrain being in the works. I think this would be brilliant for range, economy, and the torque of electricity...

@ninjacoco got her hands on one: https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/40320/2021-jeep-wrangler-4xe-review-the-perfect-one-car-garage-for-off-roaders I'm pretty excited about electrification making it's way to the off road market, although I think this was a fairly conventional approach from Jeep...

https://carbuzz.com/news/new-toyota-trailhunter-ready-to-battle-ford-bronco-and-jeep-wrangler I really hope this is Toyota responding to the market with a real hardcore off roader to take on the Wrangler and Bronco. The TRD Pro 4Runner just can't perform to the same level as either Wrangler or...

https://www.electrive.com/2021/03/16/audi-abandons-combustion-engine-development/ This is an indication of a new direction for the entire VAG, including Lamborghini and potentially Ducati.

I filled 30% of the garage space left by the sale of the ST1300. This is a Yamaha R6 that's been built to race specification (hence the number), I'm still waiting on the title since the seller is in a neighboring state. Apparently he has a fleet of bikes that he's consolidating, he keeps...

From our own Stef Schrader: https://www.thedrive.com/news/37886/kandi-americas-cheapest-ev-startup-accused-of-faking-sales-to-get-160m-in-us-investment TL;DR (but seriously, go read her breakdown of the alleged fraud scheme and Hindenburg's potential bias) - Chinese EV startup Kandi "sold"...

Yeah, I know what we all think about CR and cars, but it does affect sales and the industry: Infographic at the bottom of the article: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/who-makes-the-most-reliable-cars/

https://www.thedrive.com/tech/37669/toyota-patent-shows-self-driving-drone-tankers-for-car-to-car-recharging-and-refueling An autonomous battery drone would drive out and begin charging. The patent says "on the fly" which would be pretty sweet, but it will most likely be used to service cars...

"I'm relevant!" screamed HD into the void. Indian only had two bikes in the race, both podiumed in 1st and 3rd. HD was 2nd, and made up the entire rest of the field with 3 DNFs. Race rules limit entries to either the Indian Bagger or Touring and the HD FL Touring. I'd love to see someone go...

Yes, I just verbed "F1". I don't know if "Verb" can be made into a verb, but I just did that too. <rant> Auto journalists, I get that you love F1, but when asked to cover MotoGP, please stop trying to make it into F1. It's not F1, and we don't want it to be F1. Half the time I read an...
