Because I found just about the perfect keyboard and it's not wireless:
Steelseries Apex Pro (https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Apex-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B07SVJJCP3 https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Apex-Mechanical-Gaming-Ke...)
With some lube, this Hall effect keyboard comes as close as I've found since the Tom Knight MIT AI lab Microswitch keyboards of yore. What it still lacks is the perfect "heft" of the TK keyboards, balanced key weight & springs which gave it a certain "je ne sais quoi" I've never found in 40+ years. (And I've tried dozens of mechanical keyboards.) But it's damned close.
I've tried adding weight to the keys with magnetic putty to mimic the original TK "heft," but the switches aren't up to the weight, nor do they have enough throw. So I gave up and am still very very happy with the lubed Apex Pros.
