I don't think you can find the right kind of keyboard.

The Alienware is going to be a good deal cheaper
and more up-to-date than one of these. At least some
of the Eurocom in the past, were Clevo ODM units.
You can tell from the LGA1151, that this particular model
is not "prime" Windows 11 material.

If you look at pictures of that one, you can see the
fan cooling scheme makes the hinge end of the
machine a bit thicker.

Asus has made some machines in the past, with a thicker
hinge area because of the cooling requirement. But you've
already had a taste of Asus.

The race to the bottom on keyboards is a done deal. Nobody
is going to dish out a keyboard area and use a longer travel.
