Well Linux Supported Keyboard and Peripherals? (lemmy.world)

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 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
