Looking for a wireless mechanical keyboard for commuting, as I don't want to have to run a hub from an ultrabook (mine only has two ports). The keychron ones look ok, anyone have opinions on those or others?
Needs to be mechanical as I have issues with my wrist and needs to be sturdy (current commuter is a Drop Alt). Also needs RGB. Hot-swappable switches seem like a good idea. It needs to be tactile but not too loud as I have a tendency to bash it.
@jojoeffe I have a ~5yo first gen Keychron K1 TKL at the office and it's alright. Brown switches, tactile not clicky, came with some spare keycaps to switch around.
It falls asleep to save battery quickly, often while I'm sitting thinking about something or just mousing instead, and takes a few seconds to wake up and reconnect. To my knowledge they never released software to control the RGB lighting, bit disappointing.
@jojoeffe I have a Logitech G915 TKL at home and it's the best keyboard I've ever owned. Feels great, looks great, configurable RGB in the app. Comes with a USB dongle but I use it via Bluetooth with my work laptop and it doesn't miss a beat.
Horrendously expensive when new though, I bought mine open-box on eBay for a steep discount. Cash Converters had a couple in great condition at a more reasonable price last time I looked, if I had to replace mine I'd look there first.
