I've been using the Keychron K2 for a couple years now and I love it. It is wireless with up to 3 different bluetooth connections so I can easily switch to different computers. It's switchable for mac or pc. Compact, and decent battery life.

I'm new to the mechanical keyboard, so that I bought some cheap mechanical keyboards just to try them. My first mechanical keyboard is Rexus Legionare MX5.1 TKL red switches. And the second one is Rexus Legionare MX3.2 brown switches.

I also like to try some better mechanical keyboard, like Keychron K6. I watched some review on youtube, and I think it suits me.

Recently I've bought Logitech G915 with Tactile switches - so far the best keyboard I've been using for coding. It has RGB and other gaming stuff though, but I think it's worth mentioning anyway.

I have Logitech G613(Has gaming mode but I don't use much, no rgb) because a coworker ordered one damaged, and got a free replacement. So I bought it from him, and best keyboard I've ever used now I own two home/work. I think romer-g keys are close to red/brown. It is kind of on the big side because of the number pad and shortcut keys.
