I prefer this to a bloated windows-only shit app that has to run all the time and slows down your pc, but I’d LOVE to see them open source the launcher (and have suggested it to them before) so self hosting it offline is an option and their keyboards become immune to enshittification after purchase.

They don’t need to do anything that complex to solve this though. They just need to migrate the existing frontend to a progressive web app (PWA) as that can be installed as a browser “app” to any modern OS and run offline. I also despise the bloated shit (Razer, MSI, Corsair; calling you shitheads out for your horrendous software products) but there is no excuse for Keychron. They won’t even answer as to why it requires the internet.

Their backend service was just down this weekend for 6 hours and the Launcher was completely useless as it refused to connect devices. I contacted support and they just told me I have to wait for someone to fix it on their end on Monday.
