I have an older Logitech mechanical that works well, expect a few key caps have broken and the replacement ones aren’t quiet the same heights :rofl:

How does one $ sign though?
Modifier keys, set it up in the keyboard firmware using a tool like QMK, Via/Vial. So mod key + another key will allow you to access different layers. Takes a bit of getting used to but you can customize the keys to do a multitude of functions, just takes some work.

Have 4 mechanicals. All of them I love.

Two off brand of the same kind that are actually nice smaller keyboards:

Cheap mechanical with blues => Do not let the price fool you. This is actually a great secondary machine KB for the size I am typing this on now.
Corsair K68 with cherry for my gaming machine
Logitech K845 with browns on my work development machine => Love the clean look
Das Keyboard 4 professional with cherry for my personal development machine => Have had this for years with no issues

Nice, the GMMK Pro is a good keyboard. They [Glorious] make a great mouse.
The build quality on this thing is fantastic and it's hefty af, which helps keep my deskmat in place :o

The volume knob is also a great addition and feels nice and clicky both when turning and clicking to mute. Plays nicely with both my MBP and my gaming PC too.
