My Unhealthy Relationship with Keyboards ⌨

FYI: You can put a low-profile mechanical keyboard on top of your MacBook built-in keyboard and it works great.

I use the Keychron K1 Pro with Brown Gateron switches. It's an 80% (ten-key-less / TKL). I needed this one because I use the right shift key a lot and it has a full-size one whereas the 75% is shortened.

You get used to the slightly different layout very quickly. You might swap back and forth a bit but when you go to bed you will start dreaming about typing on it. You will even enjoy doing typing races just to press the keys.

Another new one just released is the NuPhy Air75V2.

It's a real addiction!

Love the Keychron. I wanted a mech keyboard without getting lost in the whole world. My one requirement was bluetooth and the Keychron was the cheapest, non-ugly option that had it. TKL, with F-keys but no numpad, is the ideal size for me. Looking at the NuPhy now...

I ordered the NuPhy with Cowberry and Aloe linear switches so I have a more quiet keyboard I can use at night. I am lost :D

Nuphy Air75v2 is the best. Looking forward to receive mine in few days!

I've been very happy with my Keychron K3 pro so far. I'm quite surprised there aren't more options for low profile mechanical keyboards (besides Keychron and Nuphy) as I always though the portability of a keyboard as 1 of the most important features for modern day usage and commuting.

For me its being able to use the trackpad on my MacBook at the same time.

I am on the hunt to find more low-profile models.
