She’s growing up, and she’s got a framework 13 laptop with fedora 40, which is great, but she’s been using hand me down peripherals.
She’d love a decent mechanical KB as she likes the clicky clicky of the keys, but the last one I got her, a Lofree, basically bit the dust in no time.
She’s SUPER into the aesthetics but doesn’t want RGB led’s, but DOES like a nice backlit keyboard.
When searching for it, amazon, best buy and the rest just pollute the results, so it’s actually difficult to decide what to get her. Her birthday is coming up so this will be her main gift.
What have you all had good luck with that might be aesthetically pleasing, that the quality wasn’t trash like Lofree.
EDIT: thank you for all your suggestions, I’ve sent her a bunch of links to look at and she’s going through them now. I’ll try to remember to post back what she picks.
I’ll spend it necessary, but I’d like to limit to around $75-$100
In my opinion, for that price range a g305 and a Rk61 are by far the best options.
(The mouse is only wireless with a usb dongle, not bluetooth, and the keyboard can be bought in a different layout and is hot-swappable)
Both are configurable on linux, the mouse with piper and the keyboard with qmk.
I own both so if you want more info on either i would be glad to offer.
g305 is what I have and love it, have recommended it to clients looking for a decent mouse. great fit feel and size, some customizations in the app but I don’t use them anyway.
