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

The Glorious mouse is a pain in the ass. It literally prevents my laptop from booting sometimes when it's plugged in.

Keychron, however, I can back 100%. I have two of their C2 wired mechanicals, one with white backlight and one without. I use the backlit one on my personal gaming machine and use the non-backlit one on my work machine in the office. Sometimes gaming is in the dark but work never is. They make a very well built keyboard. Robust, easy to repair when anything goes wrong.

The glorious was a replacement for my razor death adder which lived up to it's name and died. It was also even worse with Linux and a KVM. Plus it's software was behind required account.

It's fine but I'm just using it as a dumb mouse.
