I have Caps Lock mapped to Ctrl, like a UNIX-style keyboard. Otherwise, my requirements for a mechanical keyboard are simple:
1. High quality, tactile switches (Cherry MX Blues or Browns)
2. Programmable keymapping
3. TKL layout
4. 6NKRO
5. PBT double-shot molded keycaps (not ABS)
6. Steel baseplate with as little flex as possible
7. Removable USB-C cable
8. Black or grey (dark colours)
I don't care at all about RGB, that's a gimmick to me. I'm not a gamer. I need something I can blaze on when doing heavy Vim editing or writing (I type +/- 150 wpm) after a nap and a few cups of good coffee.
I also prefer a narrow bezel, something like this: https://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/Ducky-One-Golden-grey-TKL https://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/Ducky-One-Golden-grey-TKL
