These days, I use mostly default MacBook Pro keyboard as I'm always moving around the house.

But used to use Real Force in the past. Likes Happy Hacking Keyboard, but recently got this one referred by a team mate: ultimatehackingkeyboard.com

Haven't received it yet, but excited! :)

Invest in violin for violinists
Invest in piano for pianists
Invest in sword for knights and samurais
Invest in keyboard for programmers (and monitors, memory, computer, extended storage, yati yata)

So yes, we are SERIOUS!

I use a Kinesis Freestyle for my work laptop and a Freestyle 2 for my personal computer (iMac): kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/freesty...

I used a Das Keyboard at home for about two and a half years but switched back to the Kinesis a couple of months ago when I developed problems in my right arm.

I've got a Logitech Craft and love it. The MX keys feels just the same and is way cheaper, so that would be my go-to option these days.
Disclaimer: I don't like mechanical keyboards.

I recently went from a mechanical sharkoon board to a cherry scissor switch. It's absolutely perfect for me, although the only downside is that it comes without backlit keys. But hé, who needs to look at his kb anyway? (Ok, me sometimes ..)

I've been using a Ducky One RGB with Cherry MX Red switches for the past two years. It works really well, it is easy on my wrists and it has some cool light effects.

At work I use the ultimate hacking keyboard ( Kailh Black ) and the Ducky one two ( mx brown).
At home I use the wooting two ( optical ).
I recently ordered a Hexgears Gemini dawn. To try some Kailh box switches on.
I also have a Gigabyte k35 that I used for a while but that is a horrible keyboard.

I first got one for my home PC. I quickly got one for my work PC and one for my server rack.

Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition
Loud as hell (like most gamer keyboards), wouldn't use it in the office. But great feeling. So sensitive that "touch typing" really means it.

There are 2 keyboards I'm using. One for the office (open floor) and one for my home setup.

For the office I'm having the Logitech mx keys.
It's such a great keyword and it's not loud so I won't distract my colleagues.

For my home setup I'm having a razer black widow rgb with orange switches. Just such a nice feeling especially when there is nobody to bother with the sound.
