Interesting comment about the Apple keyboard. I have bought Apple Magic keyboards for all my Windows machines. Need a correct driver to make the fn key work and remap the delete key, but otherwise I have not yet found a better TKL keyboard.

Hotswap mechanical or nothing for me. I hate low travel keys (and flat keycaps).

I actually just bought this last week for the work machine..

Not as good as the board on my personal PC, but that is a highly tweaked out, kit built, full metal gasket mount board that I have mumble hundreds of dollars in to...

People are different. I grew up with clunky and noisy IBM keyboards. Really love the low key travel.
Model Ms are terrible. A nice modern mechanical with light linear switches is neither.
I buy mechanical keyboards for all my macs and skip the flat feel of the chiclet keyboards. It is too bad that such an experience can’t be very portable.
I used to like apple keyboards but I got RSI using them. I was probably holding it wrong but switching to mechanical keyboards fixed it for me.
