what keyboard do you use for Blender?
Keychron K17 Max, it's 10 feet long but I love it. Whole numpad and even a rotating knob to assign to whatever. Replaced the key switches with Gateron KS-33 Low Profile Silent 2.0 reds.

K11 Max went bonkers, how to extract low profile Gaterons?
Similar reports for K1 Max: Avoid Keychron at all costs! Keychron K1 Max is a disaster. Several special firmware versions from Keychron were tried (presumably changing the key debounce time), but none worked. #36 Is the K1 Max just a bad keyboard?. Early detection of the problem (April 2024; the key

Mechanical keyboard or Slim keyboards for typing and coding comfort
I recently got myself a Keychron K17 Max. It’s an amazing low profile keyboard. Feels incredible to both type and play on.

Worth getting a proper mouse or keypad early on?
Oh I bought most of this as an ST1/2 so can't perfectly remember. Mouse - Logitek G502 hero. Went for wired. Must have onboard memory because of NHS BS.

Programmers, what keyboard layout do you actually use?
Keychron K17 Max is between 1800 amd 100%, I think it's the optimal size, you keep the numpad and the large 0, but with the most compact form factor possible.

Help buying first mechanical keyboard.
I bought a Keychron K17 Max with the brown switches about a month ago. I held off for a while because I heard lots of negativity on Reddit about them, but... It's fantastic. The build quality is great, the key presses sound and feel awesome, it has great connectivity options, great battery life and
