Diy Mechanical Laptop Keyboard

My job has me working from home, and in 6 different offices, some days I can't guarantee which location I'll be the following day. I finally was fed up with just dealing with whatever dusty, used mouse & keyboard might be available in whatever office I was in and bit the bullet to get a good set I could take with me anywhere for consistency. (I did buy a separate rigid clamshell case for the keyboard & mouse to keep from damaging them in my backpack) I've enjoyed using mechanical keyboards for years, from an IBM mechanical keyboard in the late 80s-90s, and a few with Cherry MX Blue switches for my PC since 2010. I hate standard laptop keys and membrane keyboards. The MX Mechanical is a joy to type on and the shortcut keys are a welcome addition (dedicated calculator app button especially). The MX Master 3S is extremely comfortable to use, and the horizontal scroll wheel is convenient since I'm in excel & Google spreadsheets for most of the day. The fact that these are both wireless and share the same USB receiver has made my setup/packup less stressful, no longer fumbling with wires and multiple usb plugs. The USB receiver stays in my laptop and I just flick the on/off switch for the Keyboard and Mouse at the start/end of my work day.

It gives you the nice, clean feeling of a mechanical keyboard, but it's silent!!

Great entry level mechanical keyboard

Great mechanical keyboard. Love the preset lighting options.

Great mechanical keyboard for programming. Works great with Linux as well.

The ROG Claymore II is the best mechanical keyboard I've ever used. The responsiveness is incredible!

Needed a full mechanical keyboard and this work. Didn't need RGB so this was perfect

Excellent product , got at best combo price for mx3 plus n full mechanical keyboard

It's perfect for my second keyboard and laptop and also looks cool.

I've been wanting to move towards a mechanical keyboard feel. Glad that MX is offering an option now. So far, I've really enjoyed the typing experience, though it is taking some getting used to since I've been on scissor switches for quite a while. I don't love how they switched to a new dongle system with this one so I can't use the MX master 3 mouse with the same dongle anymore - I know they did that to force another upgrade. Other complaint is that their software seems to have regressed in the new mechanical keyboards. example - the calculator quick key still works but it doesn't bring it to the front anymore. Why would that be different from their previous keyboards? weird. Overall, I'm enjoying the keyboard, though.
