Hey folks, I know there's threads out there for this but just wondering if anyone has anything new to suggest. Fully aware how Logitech was bought in 2013, model no longer being made and about the scalped versions from China that aren't worth crap.

I've got one of the originals from over 10 years ago (working great but I'm dreading the day it dies) and have gotten fellow co-workers hooked on them since 2022 (the Chinese crap but a few have panned out well while an equal amount have already failed) and really want to get as close to a like-for-like replacement.

Details:
1. Love the slightly rounded keys, not into the sharp edges commonly found with most mechanical keys.
2. Great action, a nice middle ground between low-high profile keys.
3. Illuminated but not the rainbow bright RGB crap.
4. Love the spacing and size of keys. Just feels right.
5. Built in wrist pad, cushion or solid doesn't matter.
6. Wireless rechargeable

Things I've already looked at per a Reddit thread I came across

Logitech MX S (kind of like this)
Logitach MX Tactile Quiet (very much considering this)
Corsair k100
Dell KB900
Cherrystream

I kind of dig the MX kit that comes with the MX mouse as well for at work. It's not clicky in the least but feels quality, is wireless and works like a champ.
 
I moved from the Logitech G15/19 to the Corsair K95 several years back and have been pretty happy with it- the K100 seems to be it's successor.

Typing feel is vastly different as the G keyboards aren't mechanical, but I've adapted just fine. My main want is the left side function keys.
