I prefer the Cherry MS Blue switches myself, but if you prefer the
quieter switches then you'll want to go with the Cherry MS Brown
switches. I have the Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate myself. The Ultimate has
blank key caps, which is supposed to improve typing speed, but I just
think it looks cool! I haven't seen the Das keyboards go on sale myself,
but I haven't really been keeping an eye on that. You only buy a Das
keyboard every 10 years or so.

Hi Sieghard,
Have you ever seen these Das keyboards go on sale? Also which type of
keys do you prefer, the cherry or blue. I am leaning towards the quiet
ones.

If you want a big full-size keyboard for both computer and iPhone I
highly recommend the Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless mechanical
gaming keyboard.
It has no backlighting, it uses a USB dongle for connectivity to the
PC which has a 1 millisecond latency and you can pair it to your phone
via Bluetooth which is also super responsive. Switching is done via a
slider switch and it’s virtually instant.
I use this keyboard as my main office keyboard, it is big and heavy
and not something you would want to travel with and my only complaint
is that it uses these Japanese switches called Roma-G, I wish it used
Cherry MX Blue switches which I have on my wired keyboards from the
company “Das Keyboard”, I have the model called Professional 4 and
they are amazing, but also expensive.

*Subject:* Re: Bluetooth keyboard
Seeing as I've spent a small fortune in search of a satisfactory
keyboard, I thought I ought to pipe up here. I have a smaller keyboard
from Microsoft called the Microsoft Universal Mobile keyboard. It's
compact and fairly rugged with a plastic rubber coated lid which
doubles as a stand. You need to type in a code when pairing but once
that's done, there's realy no lag. I don't know if it's still
available for sale so you might have to chase that one with Ebay or
something.
The keyboard I'm typing on now is cheeper because it's a 60%
mechanical keyboard from Keymove. They've made quite a splash in
mechanical keyboard circles recently. I got mine for $50 Canadian on
Amazon. You can choose the switch type you want. I like red linear
switches. Other types have extra audible clicks and add more feel to
typing. It only has 61 keys and you don't get multimedia controls. You
do get an actual physical on/off switch on the bottom. The key for
slash and question mark is tucked in the corner formed by the bottom
and right arrows which takes time to get used to. There's no way that
I've discovered to easly turn off the rgb lighting. You don't have to
enter a number code when you pair it. The advantages are that it uses
Bluetooth4 and reports the status of your battery to the battery
widget in the Today view of your iOS device. Nice to be able to check
the battery level. There's absolutely zero lag to contend with and the
board doesn't feel cramped. It is somewhat noisy to type on so I only
use it at home.
I've just backed a Keychron K6 mechanical keyboard on Kickstarter. It
has physical switches to change between wired, Bluetooth and off as
well as one to switch between devices. It uses Bluetooth 3 but given
the stellar reviews of their prior keyboards, I don't expect much lag.
I went with red optical switches which should help deal with any lag
if I'm wrong. This keyboard will also give me multimedia functions
despite being a 65% keyboard. I'll also have home and end keys.
Another keyboard I've tried was from Anker. It's quiet and compact. It
also has multimedia keys. Doesn't report its battery level and
unfortunately suffers from a smigion of lag. Just enough to be quite
annoying at times. Otherwise, it's a really nice design for a
travelling keyboard.
Earlier, I backed a keyboard from Hexgears called the X1. Again,
wonderful build quality and a pleasure to type on but absolutely
horrid Bluetooth connectivity. I use it on my computer now but that
one has to pretty much go in the loses column.
It's very hard to get something which checks all the boxes. I have
fairly high hopes for the Keychron K6 but as you can see, I've been
wrong before. I'll have to wait quite a while before I think of taking
another crack at that illusive perfect Bluetooth keyboard. It seems to
be my holy grail. I suppose, if it injures my fingers to type on one,
that could well change to being my Moby Dick. I can tell you that it
certainly won't be my fountain of youth. My wife Sara and my parents
have often exclaimed "Another keyboard!" in a manner which may well
qualify for genuine horror. Perhaps, one of you will find that perfect
keyboard and the quest can come to a glorious end. Meanwhile, best of
luck to all who set out to find the perfect typing tool that surely
must exist.

I have both the k380 from Logitech and the apple magic keyboard,
If you want simple and easy get the apple magic bt keyboard,
Charging is done through the same lightening cable that can do
your phone or iPad / ipod etc.
It's small light and has the same keyboard layout to that of the
mac books
But a lot more cost for the board when buying.
The Logitech is great lightweight and able to pair with multiple
devices / os's
Feels nice to type
On and simple to switch between different devices.
And a hell of a lot cheaper to buy.
Hpe this helps.
