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 don’t know what this means.

I didn’t either. Apparently they can be used in keyboards instead of mechanical switches. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor#Human_interface_devices
