Hej hej,

I’m on the lookout for a new keyboard and mouse for my gaming and development sessions on Linux. Was therefore wondering if people here have some experience in this field in terms of recommendations. Personally quite tied to quiet keyboards, i like low-profiles but its not a must. Mainly looking for something that is well supported on Linux and keyboard. Or if anyone has any other nice to have peripherals they want to recommend then I’m all ears!

My keyboard requirements;

  • Must support Nordic ISO layout
  • Must be linear switches or at least quiet keys.
  • Must be 100% or 96% in size

Any tips or recommendations are welcome <3

    I use g915 tactile, and it works just fine. Noise level depends on how hard you type.

    I have never had an issue with keyboards or mice not working, just plug and play

    I can also recommend Logitech MX Mechanical as a good alternative.

    edit: both piper and openRGB works to control the unicorn vomit. Piper also works to set the macro keys.

    I recently built a custom keyboard by getting Keychron Q6 and Ducky One 3 PBT keycaps, the space is slightly tight if it’s not placed evenly, but they work and have shine-through! for the switches you should do your own research, since I like tactile :)

    Anyway the keyboard works via the browser app VIA which is open source

    edit: check maxgaming if you’re nordic. they have decent selection, it’s where I got my Q6

    If you want something budget for a mouse, I got the darmoshark m3. It’s only $43, 58 grams, works wired, with a dongle, and through Bluetooth, 1000 hz polling rate, and it works out of the box with no software required. It has buttons on the bottom of the mouse to switch DPI and polling rate. Just make sure you set it to 1000 hz since it’s set to 500 hz by default I believe
