It's the G915:

During the old NCIX e-mail conversation, Linus mentioned that he types fast and Luke then mentions considering moving away from tall keycaps [as it hinders his typing speed] and Linus mentions liking the [G]915 (which is a lot flatter).

He upgraded to it in this video:

Hey, does anyone recall what keyboard Linus mentioned on the WAN show recently and said he's really preferring it over a traditional mechanical keyboard. It was literally in the very last WAN show or the one before that, can't find it in the timestamps tho.

 

Cheers!

I've watched that WAN but i cant remember mentioning any keyboard. But thats most likely my memory.

But if you really wanna know, i'd suggest to play back the WAN show at 1,5x or 2,0x speed around the time you expect it.

Else someone else will do that for you. 😉

Unless someone just remembers what keyboard it was.

 

Also putting a link in to the WAN show pertaining to your search would help greatly.

The easier you make it for people to answer, the more likely it will.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

Could be this one: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Tenkeyless-Lightspeed-Mechanical-LIGHTSYNC/dp/B085RFFC9Q/ref=sr_1_24?crid=2OVS2GW03RD6M&keywords=logitech+keyboard&qid=1649421768&s=electronics&sprefix=logitech+keyboard%2Celectronics%2C112&sr=1-24

 

There's generic keyboards to othat use low profile switches now.  Logitech is probably just rebranding those switches anyways.

I'm pretty sure he said something in the lines of "915 or 905" or some other 3 number combination which leads me to believe you're right and it might as well be the Logitech. Thanks!!
