Moving away from mechanical keyboards - recommendations needed

As the title says I’m looking to move away from mechanical keyboards as I’ve been liking the lower profile of non mechanicals. I’ve had dragon, ducky, and currently have a technet with reaper switches. My current keyboard feels amazing to use but hand fatigue is hitting a lot more in my advanced age of 32.

So does anyone have recommendations for a good low profile keyboard? I’m on windows and looking at the Logitech mx keys right now.

Game look and feel - lighting

I’m starting game development and I’m in the process of exploring both Unity and UE5. So far Unity has allowed for much faster iteration and just getting things done. UE is more opinionated on how it wants things. However the thing I’m exploring now is the look and feel of what each engine can produce. I made a simple scene in both engines using some low poly assets from itch.io and look and feel was off in both. I know I need post processing etc but just the initial take was UE felt like the “RTX on” memes but I like the depth that lights provided. Unity felt softer, but had no depth because the shadows were either nonexistent or too soft.

I guess the question here is if I’m targeting something stylized does the more realistic lighting in UE make sense, or are the softer lights more preferred? Is there a middle ground I’m missing?

Edit: realized I’m a moron and didn’t recalculate lights in my Unity scene

Upgrading from Casio PX-150

I’m looking to upgrade my Casio px-150 but I have no idea what to even look for. I’ve watched reviews and tried some in store including Roland, Yamaha, new Casios. No Kawai in my area.

But I want something that I can grow with but also something my kid can pick up as they’ve shown interest. I’m considering the YDP-165 but idk if I’m missing out on anything. Budget is as high as 2400usd but obviously would prefer to stay below that as I don’t think id be able to tell the difference between a say a 1500usd piano and a 2000usd piano

Thanks in advance!

Moving from 6600xt to B580

I’m looking at upgrading my 6600xt to a a B580 and was wondering if anyone’s done this. I don’t game a lot but will be using for creative workloads: unity, blender, 3d printing programs and Cad. Maybe IE5. So I’m curious the performance gains in these areas. I looked at some videos online and the render speeds seem better than my AMD.
