[Help] Choosing a good Low-Profile, Wireless Keyboard?

[nikcho27]

Budget: ~100 EUR

Needs:

• -Wireless + switch between multiple devices
• -Low-profile
• -Comfortable for long typing/programming sessions
• -Durable and compact for travel: Preferably 75/80% layout
• -Good value for money: student moment
• -No preference for lighting

Previous Keyboard Experience:

-Mostly used laptop keyboards or cheap membrane ones
-Tried TMKB T68SE 65% (Red switches) - *friend recommendation as introduction to mechanical keyboards:
-Found it fatiguing for long sessions and couldn't match laptop typing speeds
-Switch broke after several months
*Sound was fun

Currently considering:

*all wireless / support multiple devices / dongle (except k1 pro) / wired mode (except logi mx keys)

2) Keychron B1 Pro

*I left out some of the specifications for the mechanical keyboards as they seemed the same to me but let me know if I missed something.

Conclusion:

I tried to watch videos on the keyboards but I think I am more confused then when I started. Given my limited experience, especially with mechanical keyboards, I was
hoping to hear your guys' thoughts and experiences. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
