Cody Lee

Cody’s history with smartphones goes almost as far back as he does. As the son of a Nokia employee, he was exposed early on to handsets like the N91 and the Communicator. He has since been involved in nearly every aspect of the mobile phone industry. While going to college, he worked at a Nokia factory, building handsets, and later moved on to a sales position at a major wireless carrier. In 2011, Cody turned his part-time hobby of writing about Apple and the mobile industry into a full-time job, and hasn’t looked back since.

Cody Lee ∙ November 6, 2023

I am currently using a wireless Keychron mechanical keyboard and I love it. I love its small footprint, the monotone color scheme, and of course the click-clack of the keys as I type. Keychron keyboards are on the pricier side, with many of them sitting in the $100+ range, but right now you can pick up the K7 Ultra-Slim 65% model, with backlighting and hot swappable switches, for just $56.
