Yeah... but hand-cranking means I'd never do it.
Electronics means the desk comes with higher fragility and I'm not ready for a desk to need a firmware upgrade, and the ability to service/maintain is reduced... so it's not just speed and noise, it's also whether I want to own and live with a desk with electrics in it.
Whereas the float is a counterbalance and spring, and it moves quickly and silently. No electrics, no motors, just a simple mechanism.
Their promo video covers the basics https://s3.amazonaws.com/humanscalemedia/float-product-video-2018.mp4 but you can just go to John Lewis and see them in action there as many of the larger stores have them.

Ok, I want one now. Take my money!
Seriously though, do any other manufacturers use a similar method?

Ah, missed that bit, makes more sense then.

First the comfy 4 inch fuck me heels, then the super comfy chair and monitor set up.
I mean - the mechanism is really nice, but anyone sitting or standing at that desk setup is going to have neck, back and shoulder problems.

We paid ~£250 for our Flexispot EC1 with a 140x70cm worktop. It's not silent but it goes from my sit to stand height in about 15 seconds and isn't that noisy, it's trivial to hit mute for 15 seconds whilst it's lifting.
The manual Flexispot desk is probably near silent but you won't be hand cranking 40kg of desk/legs, desktop, monitor(s), monitor arm(s), laptop, keyboard, lights/etc up by 30cm by hand in a few seconds.
