anyone found a decent travel keyboard that doesnt feel like typing on crackers

I bounce between coworking spaces and family visits and I'm tired of mushy laptop keys for long writing sessions. Doesn't need to be mechanical in the loud-clack sense, just something portable that doesn't make my wrists angry or everyone nearby hate me.

"typing on crackers" is so accurate it hurt

Be careful with weight. A keyboard can be "portable" and still turn your backpack into a punishment.

Honestly I just carry a folding stand and use the laptop keyboard. Every travel board annoyed me in a new way.

Keychron has a few that are portable without feeling toy-ish.

Low-profile mechanical is the compromise zone you're looking for.
