Looking for a Linux friendly replacement, any recommendations? (lemmy.ml)

I currently use the g915, but switching to Linux means no Logitech software so im looking for some alternatives.

I really like the 5 programable keys on the left, but I can't seem to find any other keyboards that have that feature. I also like that its Bluetooth and has music control, but I mainly want the programmable keys

You just buy those keycaps and put them on. My super is a wizard hat.

Sure, you can just put on anything else, that's another way to do it. I've thought of doing that as well.

I dont understand. You can actually buy a keycap set that says "super" on the keys instead of the windows logo. Like thats how you would normally "do it". Then its a Unix board, QMK will handle it. If you can't find a keycap set you like on there, you can try Novel Keys.

Super is the one you can usually find. The other ones... not so much. And then it usually doesn't fit with the other keys. So you have to replace them all. Which is why I'm just considering redesigning the whole set.

Never had that problem tbh. Last set I copped was this wizard set from drop.com or something. What size keyboards you usually go for? Maybe thats the difference in keys? Mine are usually 60, 65, or split kbs.

Doesn't fit in style.

They're printed in a font that stands out.
