  1. I tried the taller ones, but I just can't get used to the increased amount of downward force I have to apply to the keys. I have used flat ones for too long I guess When we are talking about flat ones, is there really much variance? All that talk about Cherry Blue switches etc. seems to imply tall keys. Overall I tend to prefer membrane keys because they are quieter. Also, my budget would be ~150 USD max. I'd make an exception to that if it is about an ergonomic keyboard, like the Kinesis ones. I am not 100% sold on those, but they also seem interesting, at least at some point, since programming involves lots of typing, so more potential for developing carpal tunnel etc. But I think all of the good ergonomic keyboards use tall keys, right?
  2. I program a lot. Mostly C/C++. So far, I haven't paid much attention to what keyboard I'm using. I adapted to all of them, more or less. However, I think it is about time to change that. I'd like to know if anybody has recommendations for good keyboards suitable for lots of programming. I prefer slim keyboards over high mechanical ones though - I am used to the lower profile. Doesn't have to be a chiclet keyboard though. My current one is the Cherry Stream 3.0, and while flat, it isn't chiclet style for example. Ideally, it is easy to clean. It does not have to be wireless, and please, NO RGB. This is supposed to be a keyboard for programming, not for gaming. Optional switchable backlight is OK though. This can useful if the room is dark. So, any ideas? Or what do you think about my current keyboard? Would you pick that for lots of programming?
