It has PerfectStroke keys, so maybe the K740?


Thanks for the tip. There might be two issues with that particular model:

(1) It's out of production AFAICT, and (2) one thing I really appreciate about the MX Keys is the indented key caps.

IIUC, if I'm willing to put together my own keyboard, I can ensure it's wired-only and I can have the key caps that I like.

The only remaining challenge at that point (I think) is finding switches with a similar feel. This is the part that's tripped me up in the past:

I've bought a few switch testers (e.g., [0]), but all of the switches I tried were way more clicky than I wanted. I really like the travel-distance, gentle landing, and relatively quiet action of the MX Keys.

Thanks for the tip about PerfectStroke keys, btw.

Based on [0], it sounds like what I'm looking for is something like "fake PerfectStroke" keys.
