I’ve had my deck for 2 years now and it’s been my main gaming device since the day I got it. I take it on trips and use my 3rd party dock and controller to hook it up to whichever TV is at my location.

My only regret is that this way I’m limited to controller-only games, and I really want to play some of the keyboard + mouse games in my library.

Whichever kb + mouse I buy needs to be as portable and lightweight as possible, but still functional with near full-size keycaps (chiclet keys are ok).

I have a folding Bluetooth keyboard, but the build quality is absolute trash.

Any recommendations will be gratefully added to my research list!

    I’ve got the Keychron K7, it has low profile switches and keycaps and works pretty alright. Since I use my Deck as a dev machine and do my general computer stuff on it as well, In almost always bring it with me.

    The downside to the K7 I’d say is the battery life. I often have it plugged in when at home and it lasts me when I’m out but the Bluetooth dies quickly on it when I forget to do so.

    They have a re-programmable version of it as well and while I don’t have that one to save a bit of cash I’d wager it works a bit nicer.

    There’s also different switches available to purchase. I have the keychron browns but hope to upgrade to the Gateron Banana or equivalent one day.
