  Although these are great mechanical keyboards, I don’t think they are ideal for portability. The Keychron one you linked is 0.7Kg (1.6lbs) which is quite a lot if you want to carry it around. I have a Keychron TKL and it’s really heavy with the aluminium frame.

    Yeah, OP should NOT get one with an aluminum case. The K12 I linked has the option, unless I am mistaken.

    I’ve got the Keychron K7, it has low profile switches and keycaps and works pretty alright. Since I use my Deck as a dev machine and do my general computer stuff on it as well, In almost always bring it with me.

    The downside to the K7 I’d say is the battery life. I often have it plugged in when at home and it lasts me when I’m out but the Bluetooth dies quickly on it when I forget to do so.

    They have a re-programmable version of it as well and while I don’t have that one to save a bit of cash I’d wager it works a bit nicer.

    There’s also different switches available to purchase. I have the keychron browns but hope to upgrade to the Gateron Banana or equivalent one day.
