Keychron is decent keyboards, especially for this price. I do prefer hot swap and low profile switches though. Not a huge fan of Gateron switches except for low profile. Cherry MX is what I grew up with and is a favorite.

And, especially, current LTD wireless with Optical Red Switches for $25:

Also, I had a wired mech red switch TKL RGB from Redragon, but the color leds were preset by location, meaning each row was a different color and you couldnt change it. I have partial colo blindness and the entire number row was a type of blue that made it impossible for me to read the keys.
Oh, yes, I still look when I type, but that's a problem for another day.
Also I have a friend that traffics in bespoke keyboards, $150-$500+, I told him this was my current keyboard, https://share.temu.com/hvWdN4Zy4LA and I swear I heard him start to cry, LOL but it lights up great and i can see the keys in the dark
It's pretty bad, but types well for me, the only issue is it's wired and the arrow keys are subs for WASD.

These are both wired. The SD is for wireless
IMHO, not worth it in 2024 - go for dust-proof 10^8-click opticals for the same money or less.

The whole story is actually quite sad, and makes me to think again and again, that human history is cyclical and not at all linear (but I detour..)
IBM's Buckling Spring was invented [google.com] to ease transition of traditional typewriter users to computer keyboards back in the early 1970s - buckling spring functionally recreates the loud and confirming sound of those mechanical and selectric typewriters of the decades gone.
P.S. I am starting to block the posters here, complaining about "color bleed" and their gaming "needs" - if you do not touch-type by now then I have nothing to tell you... I'm also definitely getting too old and way less patient

Are most of you, good people here, from the Millennial and/or Zoomer generation(s), organically (and by somewhat haphazard Boomers' design) lacking reading, attention and basic causality skills?

I noticed F1 F2 before I posted, but 1) this doesn't cover the missing 3 keys and theyh are in akward locations next to the right-click menu buttons. 2) it's not native and needs to be programmed in.
