   Both my #Apple Magic Keyboards broke: on one, the S key stopped working, and on the other, it’s the N key. Of course, they’re both out of warranty. I’ve now gone back to the A1243 model from 2007. And wow, I really missed this typing feel. Thinking about getting a few more of these, so I never run out of good keyboards.

     @aaronk6 Is the 2007 the mechanical one? (I think I got this one in my basement)

     Anyway there are plenty of good mechanical nowadays.

     @obrhoff No, it’s not mechanical, but with longer key travel compared to the modern ones. I also considered getting a modern mechanical keyboard, but was actually a little overwhelmed by all the options. Do you have a recommendation?

     @aaronk6 I'm using a Keychron K3 Pro.

     I recently gave an Apple Keyboard a try (since I like TouchID) but i'm already to used again to it.

     Its indeed overwhelming. Especially when the talk starts about switches and stuff.
