Even you want to change, I still recommended Apple Magic Keyboard 2 for its pure quality and reliability. Not the most budget keyboard out there, but you get what you pay for (unlike their infamous butterfly switch Macbook keyboard, their desktop keyboard is good) It gots ultra low profile and good key travel, and the quiet, tactile, clickiness, which I really like.

It has lightning, but I plug it only for charging for an hour, and use it wirelessly for several months before I have to charge it again, no big deal. I mean, the battery life is insane, you forget to charge it.

I used to use Logitech G Pro tenkeyless for a while, it's good, but the most used key's keycap fell off after a while, which is quite disappointing. It is also unrepairable because they use their proprietary switch. Also, personally, it's too big for my hands anyway.

I used to getting into mechanical keyboard scene for some times. It's cool to talk about variant of switch and design and artisan keycap, but I found that it never ends(and it's expensive) So I just grab an Apple's one and get on with my life. Happy so far. :)

The magic keyboard always feels less comfortable for me to type on than their earlier AA-battery Bluetooth keyboards, which are still pretty slim. The older ones have a tiny bit more travel and a slightly lighter and softer touch while still feeling crisp.
