What is your favorite Steam deck Bluetooth keyboard? (slrpnk.net)

I recently started to play a crafting mmorpg (bitcraft) and while it runs great on the steam deck, the controls are not great. I have been playing with an old dell usb keyboard and Bluetooth trackball. I would like to find a great Bluetooth keyboard. So many of the wireless keyboards I have looked at require a dongle, which limits my ability to charge unless I use a dock.

I would rather a larger keyboard than a smaller one.

I don't yet have it, but I'm looking at getting a Royal Kludge 70 RKS.

USB Wired / Bluetooth / 2.4 Ghz Chicklet

Has a 3150 mAh battery, claims to be able to hold a charge for two weeks of wireless usage.

Comes with the wrist rests, too, they're not an extra addon with more cost, as best I can tell.

Also, is split.

So... you could more easily use it while say, reclining, or use it for better ergonomics in a sitting position, also each half has 4 adjustable little leg thingymabobs to further get an ergonomically optimal wrist angle.

OP, if you're looking for a larger one, RK does make larger, mechanical keyboards, but not any that have say, a full numpad that also split apart.

Also again, grain of salt with all of this, I've not actually ever owned or used this KB, I am just also in a 'looking for a Steam Deck / PC keyboard' phase, and so far this one seems the best to me, in a 'most bang for your buck without breaking the bank' kind of way.

I ordered a k1 max from keychron today. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay, but it looks to be a good board. This one looks interesting. I have used ergo boards but never a split board.
