Keychron K7
The Keychron K7 is good for office use. It feels well-built, and while it doesn't come with a wrist rest, the board is low enough that you shouldn't feel wrist fatigue without one. It has two incline settings, although the first one isn't much higher than the base height. The Gateron Low Profile Brown switches on our unit are quiet, feel light to type on, and provide nice tactile feedback, although some people who are used to standard-sized switches may not like the feel of the shorter pre-travel distance. Like all Keychron boards, it comes with OS-specific keycaps for both Windows and macOS.
