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

    I’m partial for the Royal Kludge RK84 for no particular reason other than it’s one of the rare small form factor keyboards that has USB passthrough. It’s a godsend if you use a USB security key, and it also helps if you need to plug in additional devices such as a USB headset.

    If keychron had any model that supported USB passthrough, I’d update my recommendation.
