i’ve had an IClever small foldable keyboard for my iPhone which was convenient but too small for my sausage fingers. I’m typing this email on a Logitech K780 but some of my keys are missing and need to replace it. I want to get into the world of mechanical keyboards. The Keytron K2 just came out and you can choose which switches you want . I like brown myself. Maybe one day I’ll break down and jump in it the mechanical pool.
