Best Programming Keyboard? Give your opinion! - iNuke - Jan 8, 2017
Hello HackForums 🤝
I am looking for a programming keyboard, something lightweight and small that I can easily have with me all day long, and with backlighting.
I've read several articles, but I am still wondering which one should I take, so I was thinking maybe you programmer/gamer guys could post your keyboards (maybe include some links/pictures) and tell me what you think of it?
This thread is not only a question from me, but a discussion between all of us about programming keyboards.
Have a great one guys! 👍

I am particularly fond of Das keyboards. I've been using their Ultimate line for some time now- completely black, no lettering on the keys. If you don't touch type now, you will in no time if you use a keyboard without labels.
As far as laptops go- I've never gotten into using an external keyboard. The integrated keyboards on laptops do well enough by me. Including my MacBook Pro, which is really the only laptop I dev from.

Any keyboard with quickfire switches. You can create a FastFucker 3000 with ultra surround rape screams from SCRATCH in two minutes with them!

I prefer mechanical keyboards over everything else. I love the feel of them.

Keep coming if you'd like!

I believe so. I'm about to buy a Switch Tester to see what switch fits me best.

I love the feel of Razer keyboards, keystrokes are incredibly satisfying and Chroma enabled keyboards can be customized to suit your preference (I use a light violet backlight that's easy on the eyes)
If you can justify spending $200 on a keyboard, Razer is definitely a promising brand.
