I tried going with System76 after having a good experience with one of their earlier models. Unfortunately the keyboard experience was _terrible_ - so as a portable it failed hard. Everything else was stellar.

By terrible I mean actually missing keystrokes noticeably often, even around 60wpm.

My System 76 experience (Gazelle, 15-1/2 in screen) has been good. Keyboard is better than average, for what that's worth.
That's what I bought in 2014, a Gazelle. If they've improved they keyboard since then I'd give it another go.
I just got a System76 machine (a Lemur; their 14" machine: https://system76.com/laptops/lemur), and I haven't seen any dropped keystrokes. I wonder if the keyboard problems are specific to one model.
