What keyboard would you recommend for programming with links pls 

I don't think there's a "programming keyboard" anywhere. A good keyboard for writing will be good for programming.

 

I've personally never worried about what I'm programming on even though I programmed on many keyboards ranging from cheapest possible, chinese keyboards to couple hundreds of dollars gaming, mechanical keyboards. Go to a store that has many keyboards on display and try some out, that would be the best idea. 

 

If you're sometimes programming in a dark room, back light may be a life saver, but remember that it's not a keyboard that makes a good programmer ;)

If you're a pro then you buy the one with blank keycaps.

There is no best keyboard. Only way to get the "best" keyboard is go and try some to see what works for you. What we like may not apply to you and vice versa. 

 

For example, a lot of people like and recommend Cherry MX Blue switches for typing but I can't stand them as the clicking annoys the hell out of me.

Try, fail, learn, repeat...

I would try testing switches and KB's until you find one that you can comfortably type on for hours without fatigue.
