Most keyboard reviews are about gaming. Can any of you recommend a good keyboard for coding/programming?

Here’s some criteria for selecting the keyboard:

  • Comfortable keys, easy to click and write coding quickly
  • Must be a bluetooth keyboard
  • Prefer using replaceable batteries instead of charging port
  • Full keyboard keys including function keys, arrow keys and numpad
  • Size can be compact or full-sized
  • Doesn’t matter if back-lit or not
  • Doesn’t matter if loud or quiet clicks
  • Budget around USD 50

    Budget’s about half what it should be, but Keychron makes really great mech keyboards, you can pick a range of switches (I use Gateron Red, clicky but not too stiff; YMMV).

    You should reconsider bluetooth if you can, there is lag in it, and sometimes just random disconnects if there’s interference. USB’s the way to stay fast & stable.

      That totally depends on usage. We have a K12 wireless and we never had any issues with input lag/disconects/interference.

        My k3 pro is a personal bluetooth jammer. If it is on bluetooth nobody in the room is able to do anything else if it connects with bluetooth. I already updated the firmware.

        It is still a great wired keyboard.
