desk setup
Unless you're working at something like this
I don't understand why you'd sacrifice the functionality and comfort of a normal keyboard.Now tax is out of the way I was going to get a new keyboard, but TBH I'm now a bit put off by the idea of having something neat that then requires a massive wrist rest.
I like to have/use a notepad - especially as I'm stuck with one laptop screen. So adding more shit to my work area doesn't appeal.

When you say normal you mean "full width" (including num block etc.) ?
I want my keyboard more narrow so the mouse / trackpad isn't so far off to the right -
that way I don't have to reach so far to the right everytime, it's more ergonomical.
Plus I really don't need a num block, can't remember ever using one to be frank.When you mean "mechanical" (instead of chiclet style) then yea, I'm just quite used to the magic keyboard of my macbook; reason why I don't get an external one is because I don't like the white and it is indeed a bit cramped (I use arrow keys a lot and really don't get why they don't make them t-shaped at least like, they do in the recent laptops).

..matter of fact I don't really need the top row I guess. Using a macbook with touchbar which is completely turned off, so my current keyboard "ends" with the number row anyway :-)
Pretty happy with the new magic keyboard on the mbp actually, I'm just looking for an external one as I need an ergonomic desk setup (wth the laptop up on a stand) - already ordered a magic trackpad I'll be using instead of the built-in one, and would actually be fine with just getting an external magic keyboard as well, but I don't think I can handle a white fucking keyboard (and they for some reason don't do the small ones in space grey or silver-black).
So this has led me looking into mechanical keyboards as well, as they have been recommended to me lots of times.
It needs to be ISO-DE for me though, and I want bluetooth, so there's not that much optinons..
That K3 looks great and might be a good middle ground for me (halfway between chiclet and "real mechanical" I suppose), but they told me that a K3 with German layout "may be released around mid 2021".
So looking at different other options right now.
It's a rabbit hole with these things!
