Red for gaming (linear, fast), Brown for office (tactile bump). Both 45 g actuation. For open-plan choose Silent variants or membrane.
Yes, plug-and-play. macOS auto-maps Win → Cmd and Alt → Opt — adjustable in System Preferences.
Swiss CH-QWERTZ is almost identical to German DE (ä, ö, ü, Z/Y swapped). DE keyboards work fine in CH.
N-Key Rollover — recognises any number of simultaneously pressed keys. Important for gaming. USB mechs have full NKRO, Bluetooth often only 6-KRO.

Office heavy typists benefit from a membrane keyboard with scissor switches (quiet, flat) or a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Brown (tactile, moderately loud). Gamers reach for Cherry MX Red (linear, fast) or MX Speed Silver. Want feel without noise in open-plan? MX Silent Red. For travel a 60 % or 75 % layout without numpad is ideal — roughly 30 % smaller than full size.
Cherry MX Red = linear without bump, quiet, gaming-friendly. Cherry MX Brown = tactile bump, the office classic. Cherry MX Blue = clicky with audible click — best typing feel for writers. Cherry MX Silent variants cut noise by around 30 %. Membrane scissor (Apple Magic Keyboard, Logitech MX Keys) is flat, quiet and travel-friendly. Optical switches in gaming boards react in ~0.3 ms and are the fastest available.
Bluetooth 5.x keyboards with multi-device pairing (Logitech MX Keys, Apple Magic Keyboard, Keychron K series) swap between Mac, Windows and iPad with a button press. Mac layout uses Cmd instead of Alt, Opt instead of Win — Keychron and Logitech offer switchable modes. iPadOS 13.4+ supports any Bluetooth keyboard incl. global shortcuts. The CH-QWERTZ layout is the German layout with ä, ö, ü and apostrophe in the same place.
Ergonomic models like the Logitech ERGO K860 split the keys in a slight V — easier on shoulder and wrist. RGB backlight is comfort at home, mandatory in gaming. Housings of recycled aluminium or plastic are standard at Logitech, Apple and Keychron. Look for CE and RoHS for fire safety and substance compliance, NKRO for ghost-free gaming typing.
