Hi, all. I am in the market for a new keyboard. I have been using an older version of Apple Magic Keyboard (yes, that non-rechargeable one) for my M1 mini, but getting an iPad, I would like one that can be connected to multiple devices.

I am interested in one of those Keychron keyboards, especially the K3 (version 2), because its 75% layout seems similar to that of the one I have been using. However, I am a bit lost with all the configuration choices - Gateron mechanical or optical, and red, blue or brown switches. After some googling and watching Youtube videos to learn about all the differences, I think I am leaning toward optical with brown or red, but I thought I should ask the community for recommendations.

Coming from apple laptop keyboards (powerbooks, iBooks, and MBPs) and the Magic Keyboard, I wonder what configuration would be the best for me. I'd appreciate your input!
