Hello,

I’m looking to buy a mechanical keyboard (well duh…) and I have the following requirements:

  • under 100€ (not a super hard requirement, but not like 300€)
  • relatively silent (so no blue switches, i’d probably prefer red or brown)
  • german keyboard layout
  • bluetooth, to use with my iPad, but also USB (USB-C, if possible)
  • as long a battery charge as possible, because I keep forgeting to plug things in
  • battery indicator of some sort, to show me when to plug in; doesn’t have to be anything special, a LED telling me to fucking-plug-it-in-already™ is alright
  • Tenkeyless layout with separate F-Keys, arrows and home/end/up/down block
  • exchangable switches would be nice

For now I don’t have any aesthetic requirements. Can somebody help a fella, who doesn’t know what’s good and what’s not, out?

    keychron K2 might fit most/all of those requirements?

    I have it and love it, check it out!

      Thanks. I’m currently looking at keychron keyboards. the k8 might also be interesting. it doesn’t have to be super small, just without the numpad is fine.

      edit: add also
