I was in a market for a mech. keyboard last month, and after trying out few, I settled on the Logitech G915 TLK (ten keyless), white

It is expensive but the best out there by far. The black one comes in tactile, clicky blue, and linear, and the white version is tactile only.

Both the clicky (blue) switches and the tactile feel great (you can test them out at a best buy). The clicky/linear/tactile keys are offered only on the black version, while the white one has tactile only.

If you like tactile keys, Get the WHITE version (it is slightly different, and better than the tactile black). It is very low profile, and you don't need a wrist, rest. Also the keycap shape is great for programmers (it is more flat than others, but it has a slight curve, and a bevel).

It is truly a beautiful keyboard and joy to type on.




This comment gives me some seriously mixed feelings.

I guess it's like a prebuilt computer vs a custom build.

If you're interested in learning about mechs, ok with ordering from a few different places, you can build a keyboard significantly better than that Logitech for half the price.

For the same price you'd get a keyboard in an entirely different bracket of quality (imo the Logitech is about where $50 mechs from companies like Reddragon are, just with some better QC and CS)

But if you're not ok with all that, then it's a slightly different story?

I mean that Logitech specifically has low profile switches which are not great, and the keycaps typical chintsy Logitech ones (bad) and are non-standard (really bad, imo that defeats one of the best things about a mech).

It's a very specific keyboard for a very specific kind of consumer, I definitely wouldn't call it the best.

If someone's not interested in wireless as a hard requirement, Ducky keyboards have excellent keycaps and better build quality.

If you need wireless I'd recommend the Keychron K6, hot swappable so you can experiment with different switches, normal keycap situation, all around a solid keyboard.
