Looking for a solid mechanical keyboard under $80 for daily coding. I type around 8-10 hours a day so comfort is key. Currently eyeing the Keychron K8 Pro but open to suggestions.
Preferably something with good Linux compatibility.
Best budget mechanical keyboard for programming?

Keychron K8 Pro is solid for the price. I have been using mine for 6 months with Gateron Brown switches. Great Linux support, Bluetooth works flawlessly.

Check out the Royal Kludge RK84. Half the price of Keychron and honestly comparable quality. Hot-swappable too so you can try different switches later.

I would say spend a bit more and get the Keychron Q1. The aluminum build quality is night and day compared to plastic boards. Your wrists will thank you.

Whatever you get, invest in a good wrist rest. Made more difference than the keyboard itself for my RSI issues.
