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

Yea I still mod on the Sonix discord but its somewhat dead since the number of Sonix/Evision based keyboards has dropped to near 0 and Keychron started making actual QMK compatible boards.

Are you connected with Wendel at Level 1 Techs who are working to get a open RGB protocol supported by all the manufacturers?

Not in any official capacity, but I know about what he and Steve from GN are doing. Their project aims to get vendors to provide documentation on their control protocols, not to standardize around a a single unified protocol.

The Windows RGB implementation might get companies to standardize around the HID Lamp Array protocol though.
