Using Mouse to Delete Nodes

@Ingolf I'm using a Keychron Q6 Max with the official pad. It's more or less like a flat keyboard. I don't think I could ever go without a wrist pad. I have one for the mouse also.
Over the past decade, I have only bought small mice that allow me to let my hand lie flat and relaxed, with essentially only my fingers on the tiny mouse. It has been quite difficult to find the right ones. Apple's own mice have been terrible.
That does not apply to their keyboards, though; Apple's Magic Keyboards are so flat (4.1mm!) that my palms always lie even flatter on the desk, and my fingers reach across the super-thin keyboard completely effortlessly. The keys themselves require no pressure, so it’s a bit like laying your hand flat on the table and drumming lightly with your fingers on it.
This meant that my Keychron was expensive nostalgia. I use it occasionally when I just want to relax and turn on the colourful rotating LED backlight. The quality of the hardware is excellent, world class.

@Ingolf No, I do get it. That feeling is hard to replace. I learned to type on a typewriter so that's probably why I'm adjusted to working with a lot of key travel. I've seen the "drummy" keyboards and they do sound so nice on a good surface and look fun to use. I need my wrists to be stay relatively mobile especially as a tablet user.
The Keychrons are not impervious to issues. I had a bit of key chatter on occasion with the Q6 Max when I first started with it probably because of the rubber gaskets, but I think the board broke in enough that it settled because I don't really have a problem now with it. (It did require a firmware update, though)
