External keyboard similar to ThinkPad?

I think the ThinkPad's keyboard is really great.
Now I would like to have an external keyboard with a number pad; like wireless, but doesn't have to. It would of course be great if the typing feel, key travel, etc. Are similar to the TP.

Has anyone had experience with the Logitech MX Keys?
Maybe even in comparison with a TP?

The Lenovo Essential or Professional keyboards are different according to the hotline, or who has experience here?

I'm grateful for all testimonials!

P.S.: Yes, I know that the Lenovo ThinkPad Compact USB keyboard is available, but it doesn't have a numeric keypad.

MX are mechanical buttons that have a lot more travel than TP keyboards. Not that they are bad, with linear switches I would always prefer Gateron Yellow, with tactile probably 55gr electro-capacitive switches like Topre over a TP keyboard and I like their keyboards but no, they are not similar. This is more in the direction of the scissor button.

Have a look at Cherry for SX keys, which are semi-mechanical scissor keyboards, e.g. In the KC6000. They feel different, but also have a very short travel, similar to a laptop, and a concise stroke. But you could like it differently.

Edit: Sorry, I haven't read Logitech MX at all, only MX (and they are classic from Cherry). If there's Logitech MX, then I don't know it.

Many Thanks! The "Logitech MX Keys" is a keyboard from the MX Master series, I have already seen the Cherry MX switches in the Reichelt catalog.

The KC6000 would then also be worth considering.

Now I think I have 4 keyboards in the shortlist…

The SX switches are also built into the Stream, Stream XT, Unlimited 3.0, Unlimited AES and all G-85s, as far as I know. The KC6000 does not have to be used, especially if a wireless keyboard (with encryption) is required.
