Recently, I am looking to purchase a wireless mechanical keyboard and would like some recommendations.

 

The keyboard must be able to connect via low latency dongle and bluetooth. The reason I need duo connectivity options is because this keyboard will be used with 2 computers; one for gaming, another for work.

Good post-sale support is needed, as this keyboard will be the only keyboard I will be using. Down time needs to be as little as possible.

   - Having more than one bluetooth channel is a plus.

   - Longer battery life is a plus.

   - Lighting is a plus.

   

Currently, I have my eyes on Logitech G915 TKL, Logitech G613, and Keychron K8 Brown Switches.

Here are the cons I know from reviews of these three products:

   - Logitech G915 TKL:

  • Wabbly keycaps.
  • Poor keycap quality. (legends and ABS instead of PBT)
  • Price ($209).

   - Logitech G613:

  • Runs on AA battery instead of built in Lithium battery.
  • Mushy key switches.
  • Full size keyboard.

   - Keychron K8:

  • Bluetooth connectivity have a tendency to stop working after a month of use.
  • No low latency dongle, bluetooth is the only wireless option. (Wired for low latency)
  • Poor customer support and long shipping time for initial purchase or replacement parts.

 

I personally are going towards Logitech (G915 TKL) just because of their brand. It should have promises to customer support.

As for budget, anything lower than G915 TKL's price will be considered.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Thank you for your list, but I am looking for a recommendation of a keyboard that people are currently using or have heard good things about them.
