I am considering buying first mechanical low profile keyboard to replace my mx keys. The main reason was repairability and longevity. I broke one of keycaps and it almost impossible to get replacement or at least is more trouble than worth.
First option I looked into was MX Mechanical because of few of it benefits:
- done my well known brand
- great battery life
- great bluetooth connection
- done towards productivity / office work
- wakes up from sleep almost instantly at least compared to Keychron.
On other hand , once I got into mechanical keyboards I realised few issues:
- missing hot swappable option, which is odd for this price range
- at least spacebar keykap is not standard which limits options to replace it(is there any?) which kind of defeats the main reason for me to go to mechanical
Seems like MX keys is great if you really really value battery life, and good connection but other than it look like a bad deal for me.
