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

    You wrote you want a full keyboard with F keys, arrow, and numpad - but it can be compact too.

    What would be an example of that combination?

    Try a backlit keyboard, especially for late night coding sessions. But that will likely conflict with the Bluetooth requirement. Does not have to be per key rgb; a fixed single color will be good enough.

      What would be an example of that combination?

      Something like Logitech K580. The keys are a bit tight with each other, but they have almost all those keys independently.
