I'm in the minority, but I really enjoy the butterfly keyboard on my Macbook. I'd love to have a fullsized butterfly style keyboard for my PC. Unfortunately the high-end market for keyboards is dominated by mechanical keyboards which aren't my kind of thing at all.

Just plug in the Apple external keyboard and remap some keys. Unpopular opinion but I find the Apple keyboards feel “better” than most mechanical switches (certainly mx brown and clear), they have good tactile bump better than most and a nice lightness to them so they’re not fatiguing.

Apple external keyboard feels like a scissor switch keyboard. It's not too bad, but it's not as flat as butterfly keyboards are.

Personally, the only mechanical switch I could stand was Kailh Choc Blue - low profile blue switch.
