Well Linux Supported Keyboard and Peripherals? (lemmy.world)

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

Any keyboard is going to work. As Ipacial said not all rgb stuff will work but basically any major brand works with open rgb at this point. I personally have a razor keyboard that I can control the lights with open rgb. I have a Logitech mouse that does not have rgb and I control the dpi with solaar.

If you care about rgb just look at supported devices and brands here https://openrgb.org/devices.html This is an extremely long list so just find a keyboard you like and see if it is on the list.

Dang looks like solaar is only for Logitech. :(
