Older gen daskeyboard!
Apple keyboard.
Corsair Raptor K50
DasKeyboard TKL at work and a Cooler Master MasterKeys Pro S at home.
I am going to get a beating for this but I use Logitech G110 at work and a Logitech 510s at home though bare in mind I was around 18 - 21 years old when I purchased these keyboards, they are both still going strong and I am 29 now...
Logitech Comfort Keyboard K290
I don't know why I didn't think to ask this question myself!
I have been consistently using an OLKB Preonic with Cherry Browns. I love this thing to death, especially because someone added a feature where the keyboard "boops" and "beeps" with every keypress.
It makes git commits (and everything else) really fun.
I have a Microsoft Sidewinder X4 at work. Does the job well enough, though I would upgrade to a mechanical keyboard if I had the money, as the one I have at home is so comfortable.

I'm using the keyboard built into the MacBook Pro. I find the placement easier with my screen setup.
It does the job, though I wouldn't mind something that was a little bit quieter.
I expected to hate it, especially with the Touch Bar and my previous experience with Apple input devices. But I find I really love using it when I'm not 'docked' at my desk. Rebinding CAPSLOCK to ESC makes up for the lack of a tactile ESC key for Vim.
What year? I don't mind the "old" one, but I've heard some horror stories about the new "butterfly" switches.
It's the 2017 model. I've heard the same stories, and it does sound worrying, but I've been using it for a year with no problems... yet.
Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard 4000
Really nice, but takes some time getting used to it.
Same, but the wireless version! I also have a separate keyboard tray so my forearms are below the desk, parallel with my legs while I sit.
I have the wired full-width apple aluminium plank thing.
I like it despite it being Apple and coming with all the terrible design decisions that entails - very difficult to clean, uses a layout halfway between UK and US, has symbols on it that make no sense, etc.
It feels nice, has an incline that, while not adjustable, is about right for me, and it looks smaller than it is meaning it doesn't dominate my desk. It also has USB ports on either side which will take something low-power like a mouse, meaning less scrabbling around with cables. Won't take anything like a USB drive with a bulky casing because of how it's too cramped, likewise don't put one of those tiny flush drives in unless you want to have to use a screwdriver to get it back out, but it's better than nothing.
Overpriced, though: I paid about £25 for each keyboard (I have 2) on ebay because the Apple price is unreasonable.
I'm using two keyboards.
At home I use a full-size Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry MX Blue switches and aftermarket light pink PBT keycaps. My only regret with that board is that I didn't buy a tenkeyless version of the same board instead.
At work I use a tenkeyless WASD CODE with Cherry MX Brown switches (so I don't deafen my coworkers with my typing). I'm planning to replace the keycaps with the same pink PBT keycaps I use at home once the stock caps start getting shiny.
I wanted a keyboard that could switch the modifier keys to Mac order. Unfortunately, its hardware overrides the Mac OS setting that I used to rebind CAPSLOCK to ESC, so it's not ideal. I'm currently attempting to reverse-engineer it on the weekends so that I can modify it to allow me to switch CAPSLOCK to ESC instead of CTRL. If anybody has any advice or resources on that front, please let me know.
Check out Karabiner. I used to use it back on Yosemite- or at least the Yosemite version- and found it to work quite nicely. Just revert any changes you made through macOS and let Karabiner handle the changes you want.
Love Karabiner. I definitely don't use all the features it has but it's straightforward to setup and change your keys.
Thanks, I'll try that 😁
SealShield Silver Wave Ergo. It's similar in layout and shape to the Microsoft Natural keyboards, but the Ergo is dishwasher safe and 100% coffee proof.
