Wireless keyboard suggestions please...

bug2k23:
I'm looking for a wireless TKL UK ISO layout with backlighting. Wireless has to be 2.4GHz with the usual usb dongle, bluetooth is just pants when there's interference and for doing anything in a pre boot environment.

I've got a Filco Convertible 2 Tenkeyless with mx blue switches which works 'ok' but is bluetooth and has no backlighting. Also have an Asus Rog Strix Scope RX TKL keyboard which ticks almost all the boxes but the switches are those smooth linear switches which I really dislike, I much prefer something with a positive click to it.

Does something like this exist?

well the closest you can get to what you want is an akko keyboard and change the switches. the problem is their keyboards are very budget and not really good quality. i would honestly get a bluetooth keyboard like keychron k pro and q pro series (k series exists too but its worse) or get a wired keyboard

Thanks for the suggestion, yes I did see the keychron but I do not want just bluetooth wireless, I have to unlock the encryption of the boot volume at startup and bluetooth does not work for this. I have also found it's range and signal quality poor in my environment which isn't an issue I have with the normal 2.4GHz wireless dongles.

This is why I picked up the Asus, it has both a 2.4GHz wireless, bluetooth and cabled connections, but I just don't like the linear switches, I much prefer a really positive click.

Logitech G715. They have some impressive wireless technology. They also sell a clicky version.

Thanks, the logitech G715 does tick the boxes but it's white! White only it seems, perhaps I should have added to the requirements, no all white keyboards!  :)
I see there are a couple of green or pink overlays for the case, I could maybe go for a gray keyboard where the keycaps are changable, this one looks like a kiddies toy keyboard.
