I’m looking to upgrade soon and thought I might finally try a mechanical keyboard. I’d prefer to not disturb those around me, and I value being able to move my keyboard around freely.

I previously used Logitech and I like their software, and specifically the ability to switch devices was really nice for swapping work to home device. That’s what I started exploring with, but I don’t think I can swap around parts if I go with the MX MECHANICAL. On the other hand, maybe that’s a good thing, since I always hear the line about this being an expensive rabbit hole. If I’m stuck, then maybe I won’t go exploring…

I’ve seen other cool things I liked (numpads, backlights, knobs for volume, subtle dark colors, USB-c), but I’m open to exploring. Wireless + quiet are the only important requirements

    I’d say whatever else, go for hotswap with MX switches. You’ll try it, learn, and can replace your switches easily and quite cheaply.

    Switches make a huge difference. Being stuck with ones you don’t really like because you didn’t get a hotswap board would really be a shame.

      Ok this makes sense, I think I’m going to add hotswap + MX switches as a requirement on my search as well. Thank you :)
