Bluetooth Keyboard for a Low-Purpose, Low-Performance Mechanical Keyboard with Backlit LEDs and Clicky Blue Switches
The 75 percent layout of the keyboard is similar to that of a laptop. The low-profile Mech has great battery life, and can be used for two weeks with backlighting on.
The keyboard does away with the colorful lighting that is found in mechanical keyboards, instead using a set of nondescript white LEDs for backlighting. It also offers clicky blue switches and a 75 percent layout, and though it’s not as customizable as other mechanical keyboards, the Bluetooth offering does work with Windows, macOS, and other operating systems. It would be great if you can pair it with up to 3 devices, so that you can quickly switch between them.
