Hi All,
I'm struggling to find a 100% low profile mechanical keyboard that isn't made by Keychron. I would prefer to avoid them if possible after reading all of the support horror stories.
The only other keyboard which I have found that seems to be an option is the Lowfree flow 100 which sadly doesn't come in a uk layout.
What I'm looking for:
Must:
Be full sized UK layout Function wired
Nice to have: Hot swappable key switches Replaceable cable Backlight
Many thanks for taking the time to read this post!

Low-profile keyboards: aside from the lack of customization, are there other reasons not to use them?

I've been in the market for a new low profile mechanical keyboard. Years back I had the Logitech G815 and liked it for what it was. Switches were okay, keycaps were meh. I ended up selling it as I wanted something smaller from a full keyboard.
I recently bought the Logitech G515 in tactile and have been using it for 2 weeks now. I like the form factor, the switches, the updated keycaps to PBT. However, there has already been a double clicking problem that has developed on the space bar. I believe I read about that issue before buying it too unfortunately. It happens both in the wireless adapter mode and bluetooth. While it doesn't happen all the time. it's annoying enough that I'm considering returning it and searching for something else.
It was tough for me to choose between the Logitech G915X, Razer Deathstalker v2 pro, or the one I ended up going with the Logitech G515. While I do like the TKL format, some other keyboards I was considering is the NuPhy Air75 v2 and the Lofree Flow 84.
I currently also have a Logitech MX Mini and Keychron Q1 that I was looking to sell to consolidate into one keyboard to use for gaming (windows) and work (mac).
Anyone have any recommendations or advice on how to best proceed?
Edit: I went with the Iquinix mq80 and have really enjoyed it thus far!
I currently have the lofree 100 lite and I like the keyboard, but I constantly mistype on it and I can't find the arrow keys consistently, causing some significant frustrations. I switched the stock keycaps for some Nuphy ones, but that has still not solved the issues with mistyping and arrow key locating.
Given this, I was thinking of transitioning to a full-size keyboard with more width between the keys and an easier time finding the arrow keys. What are some good contenders for this criterion?
