@BorrisInABox yes, this is my concern because i've read that if you turn the light off, batteries can last much longer. and, can you customize the key to the left of the left arrow to become applications key?

I don't remember if I did that or not. Mine is set up that way, but I made a bunch of keymap changes with SharpKeys.

@BorrisInABox got it, thank you!

@jonathan859 are they metal?

The MX Keys Mini? Na it's like a good Laptop keyboard. There is a MX Keys Mechanical but I don't have it. The normal MX Keys Mini is uh, solid plastic I guess.

@Rooktallon I haven't looked that much into the Keychron V2 Pro but it seems cheaper than the MX Keys. I'd probably give it a go, seems nice for what it is. But I haven't made that awesome experiences with the Keychron launcher thing and no idea whether it supports QMK and stuff. So can't really comment on that.

@jonathan859 I'm not trying to sway you any particular way but I will say that every single Logitech keyboard Ihad has gone dead after a year and I'm not a hard typer smashing every key down like it owes me money. Even with my gentle hands, they die within a year and I have to get a new one.

@Rooktallon I used some weird Logitech keyboard from my brother for years, and he did before as well probably. It was ugly, both control key caps broke off, and these stupid things aren't hotswappable sadly, when I got the Keychron I finally felt what a good mechanical keyboard means. But na the Logitech things life long in my experience. The question is whether you want to use them in the state they get into at some point. But tbf I only had one of their keyboards, well and the MX Keys Mini so...

My brother has the q6max and I've gotten to use it. It's very reliable and for me, a very good typing experience. He just popped off the keycap and replaced a broken switch when needed because a key stopped working. They give you the tools to do it yourself and it's fairly easy.
