Well Linux Supported Keyboard and Peripherals? (self.linux_gaming)

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

If the brand is large enough, it's probably already supported by OpenRGB or purpose-made alternative for that brand (OpenRazer, for example). That said, in a lot of cases only rgb changes are supported, and things like rebinding keys/macros is not. Layout doesn't matter, your keyboard doesn't control that
