Keychron K4

The Keychron K4 is a good office keyboard. The LK Optical Brown switches on our unit provide a great typing experience. It's easy to type on, but you might need a wrist rest to avoid getting fatigue. It doesn't generate a lot of typing noise, so you shouldn't have any issues using it in a quiet office environment. It's well-built, and it's fully compatible with Windows and macOS.
