That's a bit of a shame.

I quite liked NUCs!

Hopefully something else comes about with a similar premise!

So, I've recently been hit with a problem.

My previous keyboard at the office (a cheap Dell membrane keyboard) has given up the ghost, and I was trying to find a nicer replacement.

I have numerous mechanical keyboard (which are generally my preferred type of keyboard), however these are a little too noisy for the office environment!

During my research, I discovered the MX Keys / MX Keys S by Logitech.

I have recently acquired one of these and I highly recommend it.

It has a very satisfying feel when pressing the keys, but is not loud enough to blow out the eardrums of your co-workers.

One of my favourite features of the keyboard is that each key has a small circular indent on the key, this almost, automatically realigns your fingers as you push them, which I've found has increased my typing accuracy quite considerably!

The MX Keys S is a new version of the MX Keys, which only has very minor changes. The main change is switching from the older Logitech Unified Receiver, to a newer Logitech Bolt Receiver, but honestly, the keyboard connects and works perfectly over Bluetooth anyway, so I wouldn't even bother with either unless absolutely necessary.

The other main change is the new inclusion of ambient light sensing, to automatically change the brightness of the backlight. But this is easily managed manually with keys on the keyboard anyway, so again, isn't really necessary.

The MX Keys and Keys S both share the same core design, and same keys, so either is a great choice.

If you want to purchase the keyboard, you can find it on numerous retailers. Including the Logitech site itself (which this post also links to).

A nice win for repairing your own devices. The lack of repairability of Surface devices has always been one of their weakest points.

Good to see MS making at least some steps to rectify this.
