Wireless keyboards, mechanical and low-profile.
The Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless is a 96% wireless mechanical gaming keyboard in black and white. Officially S$279, but on the market since 2023 it can be found cheaper, as low as S$215.
The Mikit MT80 is an 80% white mechanical keyboard at S$180, bundling Mac keycaps and swappable logo accents. Its translucent shell shows off RGB lighting, and a 4,000mAh battery lasts up to 50 days over Bluetooth.
With Li Xiang now office-based, I passed her my Apple Magic Keyboard and got myself a new mechanical one. Wanting a 75% layout, I chose the NuPhy Air75 over the Keychron K3 Pro.
Caught up in the Keychron hype, I immediately backed the Keychron K7 65% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard on Kickstarter. I pledged US$74 for the hot-swap, RGB-backlit, optical version; the project funded in August 2021 with over 5,000 backers.
The Logitech K375s Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard & Stand Combo retails for S$49, discounted to S$38 at IT Show 2018. It connects to three devices across Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Android, and iOS, via the Unifying receiver or Bluetooth.
The Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad launched at WWDC 2017, retailing for S$188, S$40 more than the standard Magic Keyboard. As a full-size wireless keyboard, it succeeds the wired Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, which Apple now discontinues.
The Apple Magic Keyboard retails for S$148, the successor to the Apple Wireless Keyboard at S$98. It's S$50 pricier because Apple finally ditched AA batteries for a built-in rechargeable one, charged via a Lightning cable, giving it a sleeker profile.
The Logitech Bluetooth Easy-Switch Keyboard (K811) is a Mac keyboard retailing for S$169, with its Windows counterpart, the K810, at the same price. It's a fairly pricey alternative to the Apple Wireless Keyboard, which costs just S$98, but adds backlighting.
I bought the Logitech MK260 Wireless Combo, keyboard and mouse, from Challenger for S$39, or S$36.90 with member's price. It's one of the cheapest branded wireless combos I could find there, the main alternative being the Wireless Desktop 800.
I love my Dell 2408WFP monitor for its two DVI ports, letting me connect both my Windows desktop and MacBook Pro. Using a Mac heavily at work, I wanted to replicate that office setup at home.
