>which switches do I want for programming?
Topre. 45gr.
If you cannot afford the real thing (Realforce, HHKB, NovaTouch), get a chink clone. Still better than CherryMX shit and clones.

Magic force is a good chink brand. The better question is which which you want, like you asked.
I would say Blues if you want clicky, clears if you want a nice blue feel that turns heavy when you push it down (bottoming out clears is not a good idea. I have strong fingers and it still fucks my shit up senpai), ot reds if you like smooth key travel. Greens are also like blues, but they're fucking heavy.
I would seriously suggest, however, posting this in /mkg/ because those autists there know more than me.

How about not giving a fuck which keyboard you use and actually get good at writing code?

That Drevo keyboard at the end looked interesting because of the form factor mainly. How shit do you think it is?

It's a mech, obviously it's going to cost more even for a cheap model.
I saw that video and bought the Magicforce white one with blue outemu switches. Quality is much better than I expected for chinkshit keyboard. Overall if you want a cheap typing keyboard with a smaller form factor go with that.

shh shh don't be mean anon, op is obviously too useless to actually write good code, which is the reason xe cares about stupid things like /mkg/.
I got a cherry red keyboard (a ducky one) that I am pretty happy with, for programming. Real easy on the fingers. Never used anything other than membrane keyboards though so idk maybe there are better things out there.

$45 only gets you so much quality control. I'd give it a 92% chance of being fine for about 4 months. Most of them probably last a few years without issue.

If he was asking for a $300 mech, sure, it's like a kid who hasn't yet taken a guitar lesson wanting a Gibson Les Paul, but he just wants something cheap that's nice to type on. Nothing wrong with that.
I got this keyboard for my first mech, anon.

Pretty sure one of the ones in that video uses the same basic design since the keycaps/led layout looks the same. The non-backlit one has solderless switches, which is nice since lack of QC on lower quality models will mean you might have a dead switch or two out of the box. It came with 5 or 6 spares. The blues in it are pretty clicky and very comfy for typing.

looks like it's on sale for 50% off right now, too, which is pretty nice.
I would recommend either 45g Topre switches or cherry browns, but you wont find them in a keyboard for <80 usd
>>61482637
didn't watch the vid but whichever one has remapable hotkeys
Got a $29 one with outemu blues that are plate mounted. Thinking about dropping a few more $ to swap them to browns to use at work. Feels much better than the membrane shit.
>>61482637
Any mechanical switch is going to feel a lot better to type on than membrane, just keep that in mind if you feel like you're having a hard time deciding.
