Logitech MX
I was looking into that keyboard! I’ve seen good reviews but nothing too convincing for the price it’s at now. How do you like it?
Yes, it’s expensive. About $160 but it’s something you are gonna use everyday for the majority of the day so if you really think about it it’s worth it.
It’s very well made, aluminum frame, heavy so it won’t move unless you want to and the typing is satisfying. They have 3 options for sound I would chose “Tactile” cuz its still makes that mechanical noise but not too loud
Have this keyboard love it!
Is it the MX Mechanical or just the MX Keys? I was leaning more towards the Keys just in case I would like to bring it into the office one day and not be clicking people insane.
I would recommend mechanical keyboards, because they last longer and feel nice. if you have time check out the WIKI thread on reddit, it's a good read and they suggest some pretty good keyboards.

So you dictate at home and she types? That's a pretty sick setup, I'm jealous.

I build my own keyboards, mechanical with QMK but I am looking at a Pico based one as well.
Aliexpress has good keyboards/enough of a selection and some are even in local warehouses. If you don't want to build them yourself.

Years ago I picked up a GK64 and only recently I did my first "mod" of getting some cheap keycaps from amazon. From what I've seen the keyboard community tends to be looking for more compact keyboards than the full sized ones we would need for work. Which is the only thing holding me back from getting fancy custom keyboards.
The keeb folks do like smaller ones, that's true. I run a 60 key on DZ3.0 and i am superhappy with the compact form factor.
But there are also full 104 keyboards on the market:

They can be assembled, like the ones above, or may come as a kit. overall, a good investment.
Or: real pros would use a compact keeb, use the mouse on the LHD, and then use a macropad with their right hand. fastest way to enter numbers

Mouse on the left needs some getting used to, but I have seen right-handed folks do it at the office and it's more efficient that way.
REDRAGON K556 RBG mechanical keyboard
I use a Keychron K2 keyboard and a Logitech MX Master mouse
I use the Keychron K10 and pair it with a Microsoft Sculpt Ergo mouse
I've been considering upgrading to a K10 for the extra keys (I do like my K2 but now I have a bigger desk a full size keyboard would work better)
I haven't looked into this keyboard but looks interesting. Might have to throw it into the running.
I use a Das Keyboard.
