Wireless low-profile keyboard. Switches: Scissor, low profile -- not mechanical.
Direct answer: is the Logitech MX Keys S Wireless Advanced Illuminated Keyboard right for you?
1.8 mm of travel puts this between a laptop keyboard and a mechanical one, and that is a deliberate position rather than a compromise -- it is quiet enough for a shared room and more substantial than a laptop.

Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: 1.8 mm of travel puts this between a laptop keyboard and a mechanical one, and that is a deliberate position rather than a compromise -- it is quiet enough for a shared room and more substantial than a laptop. The battery claim needs reading properly: about 10 days with the backlight on and up to 5 months with it off, so the headline figure assumes you leave it dark.

Posting after real use, not unboxing
Had this most of a year now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Flow types across three machines and moves files between them. Still mildly irritated by one thing: Scissor switches, not mechanical — no tactile feedback. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Matched my use exactly
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Anyone typing all day in a shared space who wants quiet keys and multi-device switching. On that basis it has been the right call. Proximity backlight that adjusts itself to room light.

No notes
Proximity backlight that adjusts itself to room light. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Flow types across three machines and moves files between them. No regrets after two months.
Yash L.Sample2 found this helpful - 3 out of 5 stars, in a sample review of Logitech MX Keys S Wireless Advanced Illuminated Keyboard
Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: Scissor switches, not mechanical — no tactile feedback. About 10 days per charge with the backlight on, not 5 months. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Proximity backlight that adjusts itself to room light. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.
