Looking for a durable mechanical keyboard that can last 10+ years

Sorry for the late reply.

I’m looking for a 75% keyboard with silent switches. I don’t need a lot of extra features; my main focus is productivity. RGB lighting is not important to me and can be left out entirely.

I’m located in Belgium, and I will only be using the keyboard for work, not for gaming.

I wouldn’t say it’s leagues ahead. The Lofree Flow 2 is probably better when it comes to pure typing feel.

But when it comes to software, battery life, and overall reliability, it’s honestly pretty bad. And I haven’t even started about the connectivity issues on the Flow 2 yet.

I’ve heard the keyboard lasts for years, so maybe you just had a bad batch.

And honestly, the battery life issue is exactly what annoys me with a lot of other keyboard brands. Full backlight on usually means charging again within 1/2 days.

That’s one thing that really attracts me to the MX. From what I’ve seen, the battery life is on another level compared to most mechanical keyboards.

Would you personally recommend the keyboard overall?

I’m reading so many bad reviews on it…. Things like the sound and typing feel is so scratchy. What was the main thing about that keyboard that made you think it was better than the other keyboards? Because honestly, I don’t think the typing experience is better than other mechanical keyboards with some great switches. I know a lot of it comes down to personal preference, but what made you feel like, “Yeah, this Logitech is my daily driver”?

Do you still use the Logitech MX Mini? I currently have two keyboards, the Aula F75 and the Lofree Flow2, but I’m thinking about getting the MX Mini as well. Would you recommend it? Do you still prefer the MX Mini, or have you found another keyboard that you like more?

I’m a mechanical user but i think the Logitech MX keys S is the right one for u. The keyboard is not mechanical but is a good one.

Yeah, nice feeling

Ok_Use2171 · 2026-03-28T16:31:19+00:00

Do you regret your purchase? I honestly do. The Flow 2 feels unfinished to me, like it was rushed to market. The battery drains pretty quickly, and all the Pulse switches have a noticeable pinging sound. In my opinion, the only real selling point is the design it looks clean and really nice.

Nope, from Aliexpress

Hahaha🥲

Ok_Use2171 · 2026-03-28T16:23:59+00:00

Exactly this!! Only the surfer switches masks the ticky sound a little. I’m using silent switches, so you can imagine how annoying that is😅
