However they are very much a legitimate company and sure this is a legit product also.

i think bootcamp is the solution
The older version of this keyboard is a tank. I'm still using the one I got with an iMac in 2010-11 at work. All day, 5 days a week. I spilled some OJ in the C key back in 2015 or so. It got sticky. Popped the key off and cleaned it out. Popped the key back on, and it's been all good since. I turn it upside down and tap it on the desk now and then to dump the crumbs. Clean the keys and surface with rubbing alcohol. It's lived through me getting mad and pounding keys several times, haha.
Edit to add: we have a couple of this version of the keyboard as well. I've never seen one go bad in all the years that my co-workers have used them.
I did still replace it with the same thing though, just put it away when not in use where the cats can't get to it.
I love using their wired ones on a PC and Mac so this may be nice way to avoid wires since getting a standup desk.
I wish there were more of a community around high quality scissor key keyboards to do in-depth reviews and motivate companies to build higher quality products. In the meantime, Apple probably makes the most reliable stuff with good keyfeel, but I still think the 09-10 wired versions of this keyboard (and the compact version) feel better. Your best bet on a truly slick price is to find one in a thrift store, but they're more than worth the prevailing eBay prices.
