Is this a good Keyboard?

Only the Apple stuff works on Mac. Even Logitech is a hit or miss. The Rapoo was laggy on Mac but works a for away on Windows.
I'm using an MX Keys keyboard and MX Master mouse, and switch between Mac and Windows without a single issue.
 

For that price I'll take about 10 of these and be sorted for life :p ...

 
The older one has to be at least 20 years old. The younger one... maybe 12?

Honestly it was so long ago I can't remember. They're like the universe itself... they've just always been there.
See, cheap back then vs cheap now is an absolute world of difference, it's NOT at all the same..
 
My personal hot take:

Mechanical is overhyped and k@k most of the time.
I can now confidently say that after years of wasting time and money on these things. I think most of us have just convinced ourselves that they're better without actually trying out good alternatives. The gaming peripheral market, as usual, has a lot to do with this.
My Keychron K8 took me years to get used to, and I still don't like it after spending lots of time convincing myself the problem was me.

Want to get rid of it and go back to proper chiclet with scissor switches.
Even the scissor keys on my Lenovo Thinkpad Laptop keyboard makes typing so much nicer, accurate and faster than any mechanical I've ever owned or used. Would buy a desktop chiclet version of it in a heartbeat if I could.

I know the Logitech MX Keys is about as good as it gets but it's also overpriced and something like this Dell would be great.

Look at hall effect keyboards.
Though i love my mechanical keyboard I can't go back. Might be cause the first keyboards i used were similar.

I also don't like mechanical keyboard, my current keyboard is a membrane and I am looking for good replacement.
 
Mechanical keyboard can also be used for self defense.
That is true, but now my mouse broke... it has been 5 years... I will be framing it because why the hell not. Was a genius really liked it. It was nice and heavy.
