What I will say is keyboard preference is a really personal choice. It's the only bit of kit that will out live all your laptops and pc's and could easily last you for life. It will also be the tool you are relying on when sh#t hits the fan during your career.
As much as possible ask to borrow other people's kit and see what works for you. My thinking on a keyboard is buy something you will enjoy working on daily, don't get sucked by gimmicks. Whilst a good keyboard might cost anything from $60—$200 over 15 years it is not that expensive so pick well.
After writing code for over 17 years I have about 6 keyboards in a cupboard. Some of which i will regularly switch out or a might use for specific use cases (my poker3 keyboard for travel mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index...)
