I've been slowly setting up a respectable work from home desk and have gotten down to the keyboard. What I would love to find is a full size wireless keyboard with cherry MX Blues as they're my preferred switch, but I have been unable to find one. I've found a few that are wireless with Blues but they've been ten key-less, and as an engineer I use the number pad fairly often. I could not care less about RGB or even backlighting, I leave the backlighting off on my personal K70 and office K95.

 

About the closest I've been able to find so far is the Logitech MX Mechanical, which is really not MX Blues, maybe it's close enough? 

 

Does anyone know of anything that would fit this?

Something maybe Cooler Master.

Hey, I see the Masterkeys L is all the check boxes!

 

My only complaint, and it's a super minor one, is that it charges on micro USB vs USB-C like my wireless mouse. Still a great thought though!

 

I appreciate the suggestion!

You can go for a Keychron or more custom board as well. Anything with Gateron Blue switches is going to be in your wheelhouse, having used Cherry MX Blues a lot myself Gateron Blues are almost identical, I'd say I like them more. The Keychron C2 or K4 are good options they're reasonably priced and have all the features you want including USB - C charging, the software is also not too bad for settings up macros and custom key bindings. The keychrons are also hotswappable so you can swap the switches for any Gateron or Cherry MX style ones, so if you didn't like the Gateron Blues you could just swap them out with Cherry MX Blues.

After doing a bit of looking, I think you've nailed it. The K10 looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for the help!

Nice, it's a solid board. I don't think you'll regret it if you get it.

Tbh I take it you like your actuation force real low and clicky, I'd take a look at the "NiZ" boards with the capacitive switches. They make Topre copies with 35 actuation for cheaper and I'd take any of those over ANY blue board, regardless of time of week... and I did, in fact. My mom is using it right now with me on my Leopold Topre.
