Logitech MX mechanical keyboard

    I bought a Logitech mechanical keyboard a few years ago and the switches started failing after a little over one year. Have any Indie Hackers bought a mechanical keyboard that they would actually recommend? I would be hesitant to buy a Logitech one again.

      This is a great resource. I personally have a HHKB Pro 2 and will protect it with my life.

      I don't have one myself but I have friends who do and they're generally happy with them, but I'd definitely make sure you buy one with a manufacturer's warranty - I don't think they're as reliable as a standard keyboard. That being said, it's pretty futile if it turns out it's a design defect. So, if that was the case with Logitech, I probably wouldn't risk it.

    I don't see why Logitech doesn't advertise the fact that their proprietary dongle isn't necessary - the keyboard can work on Bluetooth. I get that they'd rather people use theirs, but from reading reviews online, this seems to be a major turn-off for a lot of people since they're really sensitive to 2.4Ghz-spectrum interference.
