Looking for recommendations for an Apple mechanical (sh.itjust.works)

I'm partial to MX brown keys and would like to find a reasonably priced (<$130ish CDN) keyboard with a number pad

I prefer plug in since this will just sit on my desk and I'm happy to not have to worry about BT connection issues and battery levels

As a reference, I really like my Corsair K70 with brown switches

This will be attached to my work MacBook Pro - I'm a relative OSX newbie and sometimes have trouble translating the special keys from the Windows layout to Mac, so I figure having an actual Apple keyboard will make my life just a bit easier

Keychron makes some really great apple-compatible keyboards. Plenty of options for different layouts and other features too!

I'd also like to vouch for Keychron – I'm working on Mac and have a Windows PC for gaming, so being able to switch modes whenever I want to is a big plus as well. Also the build quality of the Q series is awesome, you can mod it however you like... can definitely recommend! (as seen in my currently only post on Lemmy)

Agreed. I have a K8 and K8 Pro and love them both. The K8 Pro caps sounds pretty damn good!

Keychron has been my go to recommendation for people who want a keyboard without going custom.
