I have been looking for a keyboard, but fails to find one. - ergonomics - wireless (bluetooth or a tiny USB dongle is OK) - mechanical keys - mac cmd-key - below $200 USD

I am not sure why it is so difficult to find one like that :-(

I recently developed a high end wireless ErgoDox keyboard [1] though I'm working on a more affordable version that will be announced in March/April. It will be around $200 with all the components (some minor assembly required). If you would like to be notified, please subscribe to my mailing list [2] for "ErgoDox Wireless Lite". If you are interested in details, you can also reach me via email (see profile).

Do you also offer assembly services? As someone who recently been unable to work on electronic components (small parts, easily swallowable, in a small apartment = danger), I'd highly appreciate it

Yes, assembly is available. For the current group buy, you can find details for the assembly service here: https://www.slicemk.com/products/ergodox-wireless-assembly

For the planned low end version, assembly will just be installing switches/keycaps (no soldering). A similar assembly service will be available for people who just want to receive a complete keyboard.

If you give up the wireless portion of that, you have a ton of options. I have an ortho keyboard, wired, and don't mind the wire at all... for travel it's easy enough (my Preonic keyboard from Massdrop came with a case) and the standard USB-C cable is easily detachable and stows nicely. Plus, it doesn't require a battery.

I have a wireless mouse (G Pro Wireless) that is good enough but charging it is pretty annoying.
