Government Job = Excuse for a Pink/Feminine WFH Upgrade

Some mechanical keybs with low profile switches feel nice. Like a Mac keyboard, but better. Good brands have different key cap options. Here's a Keychron in white (not sure of AU availability, but gives the idea) https://www.keychron.com/collections/mechanical-keyboard/products/keychron-k5-max-qmk-v

All Iwant is a black Air75v3 with UK layout :(

my criteria were: 96% or greater size UK ISO low profile of which the only option seemed to be keychron. went with the K5 Max and it's been lovely so far. looks like there are some compatible keycaps that would make it all black, but I haven't tried them.

Full size Lofree with the creamy sound

You mean you don't want it to be compact? You could look at the Keychron K5 Max, but it probably won't sound or feel as good as the Lofree. Would probably feel better though if you got different switches.

Opinions on Mac vs Windows laptop for ultra portable?

Yes, I am already using a Keychron K5Max. It is a mechanical QMK keyboard and a nice person on Readit has been remapping it using a custom one handed-friendly chorded layout. It has been a life changer for me as I have develop moderate Carpeltunnel in my one hand. But, since I started using this new

Can I use Moss switches in the Node keyboard?

Thanks. Which switch has the best feel? In comparison I love the Flow 2 100 Pulse switches, even though they are super light they are precise, unlike Wisteria on the Nuphy Air96 v2 and Brown tactiles on the Keychrone K5 Max. Both gave me typing issues. I prefer quiet switches, you think I'd like the
