      Some of those look very nice and tempting …

      There's not much to cheap keyboards, they are all going to have similar sources for switches, and should be okay.

      The ones with 2.4GHz dongles instead of, or in additional to, Bluetooth will probably be more reliable for connections. Like the first one you listed.

      The mech keyboard Reddit will have more useful info than Ozbargain.

      I meant mini not microscopic 😋

    Logitech MK245

    I have three sets for my computers, in different colours so I can keep the right keyboard matched with the right mouse.

      This can be a option 👍
      Does it have backlit feature ( nature of work involves working late nights) a

        Sorry, it fails on that requirement.

        • AJ26 on 28/08/2023 - 08:47

          Thank you for recommendation anyway
          Do you have input on provided links

        "hunt and peck" is the term. Given "my fulltime work home office" you should really learn to type.
        Its not so hard, with websites providing exercises.

        No battery keyboard will have a backlight, surely? Rather than go corded, you could clip a small LED light to your monitor. (Sharing a room, so you can't turn the lights on?)

    Cheapest backlit may be Logitech MX Keys Mini, but street price pre-owned is more like $60

  • chartparker on 28/08/2023 - 10:27

    I have and use Logitech MX Keys Mini, Keys full size and K380. I actually think the K380 is better than the MX Keys Mini for use in well lit environments

    • Gdsamp on 28/08/2023 - 13:01

      hate the round keys of K380 so much

      enough of this function following form

      • chartparker on 28/08/2023 - 13:37

        I actually prefer them over the Keys mini oddly enough
