Looking for an external keyboard that feels exactly like the keyboard in MBP M1Pro. I have the Space Gray Full Magic Keyboard but it feels different. Any recommendations?
Got a tip for us?

There are big differences in how the keys 'feel' even between apple keyboards year-to-year even within the same technology (leaving aside the butterfly fiasco), so your best bet is to head to a shop and actually try the keys yourself (not sure where you live but in Europe is pretty common for big chains to have mouse and keyboards out on the shelves so you can try them before buying).
Build quality-wise the only one I've tried that rivals Apple's own is Logitech's MX Keys, although the typing isn't as light as Apple's - you need to work a little bit more with your fingers - but it's extremely satisfying nevertheless.

OP said that " Space Gray Full Magic Keyboard but it feels different" which is an Apple keyboard from iMac.
I am in love with steelseries Apex 7 mechanical keyboard - my fingers are just flying on it without errors. Unfortunately only tested at bestbuy, since i am not ready to pony up $160 for one. But it is the best keyboard that i felt and leaves macbook's in the dust. Only con it is wired.
Changed my MacBook Air m1 for a 13” pro m1.
The keyboard on the pro feels much more “tight” but that’s probably because it’s new vs heavy use for 1,5 years.
Bought myself the magic keyboard when i started with my study, that felt exactly the same as my air, but now it feels loose compared to the pro
