Mechanical keyboard that reports its battery % to Mac (macOS Battery Widget & macOS Bluetooth Menu compatibility)

For my MacBook Pro M1 Max I have a Bluetooth mouse and a Bluetooth keyboard. The Bluetooth mouse is a Razer Pro Click and it reports its battery percentage to the macOS Battery Widget that you can place on your desktop as well as in the macOS Bluetooth Menu. Please see attached screenshots of this. I also have a Keychron K2V2 keyboard that don't reports its battery percentage which causes me to forget to charge it all the time. Therefore I'm looking for recommendations on mechanical keyboards that reports their battery & to the macOS Battery Widget & macOS Bluetooth Menu, so the battery is always visible at a glance.


Therefore I'm wondering about the compatibility when it comes to what mechanical keyboards that macOS supports when it comes to receiving a battery status report from them? For example, how does the battery percentage receiving compatibility for the macOS Battery Widget & macOS Bluetooth Menu work when it comes to mechanical keyboard with Bluetooth like Logitech, Corsair, Razer, Asus, SteelSeries, 8Bitdo, Redragon etc. Anyone that owns a mechanical keyboard and can get it to report its battery percentage to macOS, and if so, what model of mechanical keyboard do you have?


MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.3
