See 0:31. Anything with a "large chocolate keyboard" gets my vote.
Got a tip for us?

Not a surprise now is it? 😛 And though I hate to point this out, since we are on the subject of spelling and grammar, there is no such word as "rewatched". 😉

I could be wrong. I am certainly no English teacher, but I am using Chrome Browser and I get the spelling error red line under the word "rewatched", with no alternatives.
Ok they updated the site. It’s about $209. I’ll pass.
On a side note one of the best Bluetooth keyboards I’ve ever owned was for the old iPad the belkin quode pro(?).
In terms of user experience, it was pretty similar to the apple folio in that you could fold it and attach it quickly.
3 things that put it over the top aside from having backlit media keys:
1. Came with a case that was molded to redirect sound towards you
2. It only connected to Bluetooth when it was actually physically attached. I’m not sure how that worked.
3. You could connect it to multiple devices.
The auto connect Bluetooth connection was ahead of its time and not sure why nobody has copied that functionality yet.

Correct, and because of that I also thought this was going to be a hardwired set up similar to how the magic keyboard works. They’ve basically just built ports into the keyboard like an external usb c hub.
I guess it's cleaner
$300AUD with shipping sounds ok, better than Apples $549, is this mob reliable to buy off their website?

Ok I never got a response but I did come across a super deal on a DQ109 and so far I have to be honest, the MKB isn’t worth twice as much as this deal I’ve found. It even comes with a case.
The trackpad is a tiny bit twitchy and I now have to think about keeping the keyboard charged but I really like the pros of this set up over the official MKB.
The MKB keyboard is for sure better but not THAT much better.

UPDATE: Ater about a week of use, if you can get the DOQO version dq109 at around $100, I can definitely recommend it as a MKB alternative.
The typing experience is good, not as good as MKB, and the trackpad gestures all work. There’s a very tiny amount of quirkiness with the trackpad but not a deal breaker. It’s heavier than the MKB but also has more functionality.
I might end up selling my Logitech combo touch or at least don't see myself going back to it anytime soon.

I bought a ESR Rebound keyboard and it was riddled with problems. Since you are the first person I’ve seen that has tried the Doqo keyboards, have you run into any problems with the typing skipping around or anything like that? Is there good palm rejection on the trackpad? I was looking at their site and I REALLY like the blue and the white versions of this keyboard. Especially the blue one. They are currently out of stock, but I am heavily considering getting one of them when they come back in stock. I was thinking about the Magic Keyboard, but it’s back at full price everywhere and I don’t know if I want it that much more than these.
I’ve only had it for about 2ish weeks but so far I’ve had little to no issues with it. Sometimes the trackpad will actually disable itself but the fn+T turns it back on easily. Not a dealbreaker at all.
In the typing experience, compared to the mkb, the keys are “higher”. For some that may be a plus but just wanted to note that.
Also regarding the trackpad, I’ve heard the ESR trackpad can only be clicked on the bottom half? The Doqo uses the entire trackpad. I have 0 Issues with my palm being tracked on the Doqo although ymmv.
Regarding skipping around, is tap to click turned on? If so try turning it off.
