Best keyboard period

For year I had use the Apple keyboard until one day a colleague show me his Keychron keyboard, so i decided to give it a try ... that was it I'm sold, best keyboard i ever had period !

Opticals > mechanical

I have a K1 SE and K3, with mint and brown switches. Both keyboards added ~15wpm to my typing speed over regular mechanical, but the Mint switches really helped improve my accuracy. The heavier weight reduced misfires and fat finger presses. Only recommend if you have stronger hands though because they do take some force. Otherwise I love the sturdy and consistent feel of the tactile bumps. The banana switches feel almost identical to browns just a little noisier/clickier.

Missed opportunity for not including switches
