Hey all

I’ve been searching for a portable keyboard that I can easily carry in my backpack as I switch between different working spaces. Since I primarily use MacOS, I’m looking for a keyboard with a MacOS layout. After some research, I’ve narrowed down my options to three models:

  1. Nuphy Air60
  2. Logitech K380
  3. Keychron K7.

I’d appreciate your insights and recommendations on which one would be the best fit for my needs. Here are a few things I’m considering:

  1. Portability: How easy is it to carry in a backpack? Is it lightweight and compact enough for on-the-go use?

  2. Compatibility: I need it to work seamlessly with MacOS. Have you had any compatibility issues with these keyboards on a Mac?

  3. Typing Experience: How comfortable and responsive is the typing experience? Is it suitable for extended periods of typing?

  4. Build Quality: Does the keyboard feel durable and well-constructed? Any issues with keys or connectivity?

  5. Battery Life: How long does the battery typically last on these keyboards?

  6. Any Additional Features: Are there any standout features or drawbacks that I should be aware of?

If you’ve used any of these keyboards or have other recommendations in mind, please share your experiences and thoughts. Your input will be a big help in making my decision!

Thanks in advance for your assistance! 😊

      I have a K6 and it fits fine in a backpack. A bit heavy. I don’t generally travel with it but if I did I’d probably choose one of the many low profile 65% instead.

      Build quality, like others have probably said, you can’t go wrong with Keychron, and they have mac keys. If you just want to get the one kb for your use case and not interact with the hobby beyond that, they’re who I’d chose from.
