yep. I've tried everything from a bunch of mechanical keyboards to topre keyboards and I finally just came back to the mx keys mini, the magic keyboard mini, and the logitech mechanical mini. they just feel the best over the long term and are close enough to my laptop keyboard that it doesn't feel like I'm making a big change.
Two of my mechanical keyboards are "low profile", and they are very smooth & comfortable, but they feel niche/custom enough that they need more brain power to operate.
As I noted, they're en-US layout, and I can touch type it, but I need my native alphabet and letters while typing daily, so I get them out when I'm going to code at home.
The best part of MX Keys Mini is not the switches but the materials. They are heavy duty and made to be typed on it, all day, every day. Combined with auto-layouting it has, it's a very practical device, esp. if you're using multiple different machines at the same time.
Logitech's wireless keyboards, as you know, automatically switch modifier key layouts when you switch between Mac and PC hosts.
