After a year of using mechanical keyboards, I must say that from now on they are my go to keyboards when I'm at my desk.
While I use a laptop for my computer needs, I got myself a couple of them. I use a Machenike K500 PRO-94 at work, and a Machenike K500-B61 at my home office. Both are wireless, and have RGB, which have also become must have features on my future keyboards. Though RGB is not as important, being wireless connection is, since I prefer the cleaner look of not having wires gives my desk.
I had my doubts about making the jump, specially because most of the reviews I say were focused on Windows and macOS, so I wasn't sure which ones worked on Linux Mint. A year after, both keyboards work really well with Linux Mint on both laptops I've using them.
I connect them using Bluetooth, and even switching between them is easy. Both can be paired up to three devices, which is a great option when you want to use the keyboard with more than one device.
While still prefer keyboards with a numpad, the smaller size of the K500-B61 makes it an option to take it with me when I travel, or want to go work at a coffee shop. The only thing I would be looking for to do that, is a case to protect it while it is on my backpack.
Mechanical keyboard, specially wireless ones, have become my preferred keyboard.
