    I honestly prefer MX blue over red any day, a much better tactile feel for me, reds feel really mushy to me

    for me laptop keyboards are the best for development.
    Then comes apple keyboard, though this one is expensive

    @mohit3112 don't they sell it ? iMac Pro comes with black keyboard, I thought they sell it aside and not only with iMac Pro, go check if budget isn't the problem it will fit best with your laptop since it is also a mac

    Just a standard keyboard will do from Dell or HP. Or Logitech.

    @gitpush nope! It is exclusive to new imac pro!

    @elonmusk well it doesn't matter because in the end that white keyboard will no longer be white, mine gets gray every few months and I spend half working day cleaning that thing :\

    I like keyboards which have scissor based mechanics.

    At least I had to decide between two keyboards:
    - Logitech craft (if budget doesn't matter ;D)
    - Rapoo E9270P (much cheaper but for me it's OK, till now I hadn't the time to learn the drawbacks at gaming ;) )

    Wait, it's K380? I've got the same keyboard few weeks ago, and I think it's awesome for coding

    I use an eagletec keyboard. It's mechanical and quite affordable.

    @CurseMeSlowly

    It's actually what you want and what you don't i am not rich, i know my math. macbook pro = $1799 if i save $10 a day i can make it in 180 days , .....actually it took 1.5 years ( fuck math) all i want to say is it all bolis down to what you want.

    @mohit3112 😀 was just trolling to apple users. You are completely right, I won't get one even if I have enough saving 😁

    @Haxk20 thats a Obin Anne Pro keyboard with the key cap set from taihao named Miami. So you have to exchange them manually.

    @MsGeburt I've read KGB instead of RGB. The right side is strong with this one 😂

    @DjSall hahah nice one^^

    I got a similar one, key combinatos suck, the brackets need altgr, punctuation is hard too.

    I will pay more attention to that next time..

    I use the ergodox infinity and will never go back, but as a wonderful entry into the r/mk world I would recommend the poker 3. great but functionality out of the box (remap caplock to fn) and such. For an office my go to is mx browns but that's all opinion.

    I prefer Cherry MX Blue or Green.

    @sslPoodle Yeah works great on Linux and Windows. I haven't used it on a Mac but I'd imagine that it would work fine there aswell.

    After hours of searching and crying because i have so limited options

    I am on top two

    Logitech k413
    Logitech k840

    They both have custom switches they are like browns , 45g plus they have a tactile click

    But i am stuck with either no backlight or red backlight 😖
