Mechanical keyboard or Slim keyboards for typing and coding comfort

I recently got myself a Keychron K17 Max. It’s an amazing low profile keyboard. Feels incredible to both type and play on.

Worth getting a proper mouse or keypad early on?

Oh I bought most of this as an ST1/2 so can't perfectly remember. Mouse - Logitek G502 hero. Went for wired. Must have onboard memory because of NHS BS. Mic - Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CRKY7RSN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I tried a Bluetooth headset first, but again NHS BS

First Mechanical Keyboard

nice :) similar form factor, i like my keychron k17 max plenty enough to keep for a lifetime (linear switch, for some reason the tactiles make it sound+feel like trash) hope you enjoy for a long time!

Suggest a keyboard i can easily use for mac and win

i grew up with laptops and "chiclet-style" keyboards, so not only am i comfortable with my keychron k17 max but it feels more responsive than a regular keyboard simply because the key doesn't have to travel as far as a full-size keyboard. i guess their k7 is 65% but i really think having a knob elev

Nuphy sent me a broken keyboard, now wants me to buy a second keyboard

Don't know about Keychron's warranty, and certainly not in Europe/Germany, but in the US, I've never had a problem with them. In fact, I'm typing on a low profile K17 Max. It's been great.

For low profile go K3 Max with no numpad or K17 Max if you need a numpad. If you don’t want mechanical then the Logitech MX

Mechanical keyboard for MacOS ?

My Keychron K17 Max works great with both Windows and MacOS. It has a switch you can set to which OS you are using and you can program the keys as well as easily change the keycaps to the correct keys depending on the OS.

There's the Keychron K17 Max, but that's low profile. I couldn't find a single other board that has all those features.
