Looking to see if there are any good keebs you guys would recommend that match some or all these features (kinda in order of importance):
- Mechanical
- Low enough that i don't need a palm rest (under 30mm, for comparison, I own the Drop ALT High-Profile (https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-alt-high-profile-mechanical-keyboard), and the Keychron K2 (https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k2-mechanical-keyboard), I need to use a palm rest for both or I start feeling some pain on my wrists)
- 65% or TKL (dedicated arrow keys are a must, but don't want it to be full sized either)
- Sexy design, but keycaps can be changed so less important
- Hot swappable switches
- Compatible with Mac and Windows, with dedicated keys and physical switch like the Keychron K2 I linked above
- RGB
- Dedicated row for function keys (like the K2)
- Can be wired (I don't care about Bluetooth or battery, having a battery may additional cost, complexity, and makes the board bulkier / taller)
The Keychron K1 seems to meet more reqs than others I've seen, specially it being low profile (haven't tried it yet). Any ideas?
