+1 for Keychron (also not affiliated), the C2 in my case since I don't need wireless. It's hard to find pre-built mechanical keyboards with Mac layouts. I previously had a WASD but made the mistake of going with clear switches that hurt my hand after extended typing sessions. That's not WASD's fault—it's otherwise a good keyboard—but there's no way to change the switches on that one. The Keychron can even be hot-swappable, and it was less than half the price of the WASD for comparable build quality.

Yea isn't that the truth. To be fair I think the market is likely smaller and judging from my own just general experience most opt for Apple's Magic Keyboard - which is a fine keyboard and I'd be mostly happy with one (especially with Touch ID integrated so I don't have to reach over to my Air to unlock) but I prefer the mechanical key typing and feeling.

I have the KeyChron K2 as well for anyone wondering.
