ofc, but i often use it docked to 2 external monitors on my desk and have it on the left on a stand so i won‘t type on there…your MBP doesn't come with one?
I believe it. Re-reading my post and I wasn't clear on the Keychron. While I'd be curious to try the Logitech MX Mechanical, the K5 and K4 are both tremendous. I have zero interest in going back to the MX Keys (or god forbid the apple crap)I have a Keychron mechanical keyboard and its lightyears ahead of both Apple and Logitech
But is there a version with numpad?I have a Keychron mechanical keyboard and its lightyears ahead of both Apple and Logitech
The K4 V2 looks nice… But is there an US International Version instead of the US (USA) Version?I have a Keychron mechanical keyboard and its lightyears ahead of both Apple and Logitech
Yes, they have several different versions both wired and wirelessBut is there a version with numpad?
Keychron has lots of international versions. Check out their site:The K4 V2 looks nice… But is there an US International Version instead of the US (USA) Version?
Can you sent the link here? I do not find this…
Nvm just found it. Thank you very much!Can you sent the link here? I do not find this…
Does the Logitech MX Keys use scissor switches? Does it feel like a laptop?Such a personal question. I just made the switch to mechanical and wouldn't want to go back. But YMMV. My recent keyboards are the following:
Apple Magic w/ Touch ID - typing experience is pretty awful but it has the Touch ID which is nice. For me at least the Touch ID mostly doesn't work in the winter. Also the lightening aspect of it is kind of ridiculous in 2023
Logitech MX Keys (not the mechanical) - I like this keyboard a lot. For the money it has a very solid feel, works well and has a nice low profile. I'd choose it over the Apple every day for a non-mechanical keyboard
Keychron K5 SE - I'm using this now and it is far superior to either of the above in terms of typing feel. It's noisy and would likely annoy others in any group setting. Also isn't as full featured as the MX Keys - backlight doesn't activate unless you touch a key, then backlight remains on for 10 mins, it's slower to reconnect when it goes to sleep (not sure MX Keys really sleeps actually), etc.
Keychron K4 V2 - even nicer than the K5 SE - better chassis and typing feel. But it is not low profile like the K5 or MX and I disliked that enough to return it. If you like a palm rest already, this is a very good keyboard at a similar price point to those above.
I'd be curious to use the MX Keys Mechanical. I chose Keychron because mechanical is what they do, but if the MX Keys Mechanical is as good and has the features of the MX Keys, it would be a really nice solution.
As I asked the other poster, I wanted to ask which switches you were using on your Keychron? Have you used any other mechanical keebs or is this your first one?I have a Keychron mechanical keyboard and its lightyears ahead of both Apple and Logitech
The non-mechanical Mx Keys is very similar to a laptop. They are very short and not much travel. It's a premium experience for what it is. It would be my first choice of a non-mechanical (of course sacrificing TouchID).Does the Logitech MX Keys use scissor switches? Does it feel like a laptop?
Which switches are you using on your Keychron? My current keyboard is a standard profile, Cherry MX Brown-based board. Honestly, I don't love it. It's fine. I've considered going back to a membrane board (gasp!), but wanted to give mech keyboards one last shot and have been eying the low profile options such as the Keychron.

Thank you for answering both of those questions for me.The non-mechanical Mx Keys is very similar to a laptop. They are very short and not much travel. It's a premium experience for what it is. It would be my first choice of a non-mechanical (of course sacrificing TouchID).
Keychron K5 SE - I have the low profile mechanical brown Gateron switches. The K5 is a low profile keyboard and requires low profile mechanical (or optical) switches. I chose the mechanical because I like the feel on the K4 V2 although they don't feel identical in the K5. Still really good and I strongly prefer the low profile board.
No. Doesn't feel anything like a laptop keyboard. So much more travel, resistance and report. MX Keys is like a laptop but better.Do you feel that the Keychron you're using feels somewhat like a laptop keyboard? A fair amount of resistance up top before you make it past the tactile bump? My MX Browns have a tactile bump but it's reaaaaalllyyyy subtle. Too subtle I'd argue.
