Mechanical RGB Apple UK keyboard - any such thing?

Is there such a thing? One that you can buy, plug in and go?

I went with "UK Keychron K2v2 Bluetooth RGB Backlit Tactile Aluminium Mac Keyboard"

Super nice to type on, a few switch options to choose from. Also has a handy switch to Windows layout if you're swapping between Mac and PC like I do.

Yeah, mine had a switch for mac or pc and comes with both sets of key caps. Its also a Keychron, a K8.

Knew I’d forgotten something - needs to be a full size keyboard. I need a number pad.

There are some rgb mac keyboards with number pads, will have to google.

Keychron do one of those as well. I think their k4 has a numpad

i got a model m unicomp apple keyboard recently. And it is INCREDIBLE. best keyboard i've used on any system. Highly recommended. The buckling spring action is really nice to type on. so precise. Also have an ALPS for my PC, which is similar almost identical feel to the old style apple keyboards, but the unicomp one feels far better imo. No RGB though, stick on your own leds.

Is this the sort of thing you’re looking for?

Edit, I see you’re looking for UK. I think these are only US layout. I went down a keyboard rabbit hole a few years ago and switched to US as it’s much easier. I actually prefer US layout now.

Looks great but the reason I’m having so much trouble finding a keyboard is that I need a number pad too.

i don't think this is a competitor but i have used them a number of times over the years, and the matias alps, and the unicomp model m both from here . check them out. https://www.keyboardco.com/category.asp?sr=&path=Mechanical+Keyboards&stk=&com=Mac&ss=de&rtv=100

Interring options listed, looks like I’ll need to do some research. Definitely need a keyboard for the soon to be new laptop.
