What keyboard do you use for programming?

I have a Keychron K10 Pro but I'm looking to see if there are any other alternatives that could work? I like mechanical keyboards and my current one has brown switches that are pretty nice but I also like blue switches. I haven't tried any others having said that.

So I'm curious what keyboards you guys use?
 
I'm using my SteelSeries Apex 7 with blue switches. I love the keyboard itself, though about 7 LEDs have lost their ability to do white so show as yellow, and the most frequently used keys have gone a little... Mushy? The click has gone a bit limp on WASD :cry: had it about 6 years, must admit the SteelSeries quality isn't what it used to be.

I'm considering a more "robust" brand next like Ducky, but I'm also drawn to the SS Apex Pro...
 
Epomaker TH66 with Gateron Pro Yellows and my keycaps change just about weekly.

You're looking at blues? Tell me you work from home without telling me you work from home :cry:

You got me! I actually have a Unicomp Model M which is probably my favourite keyboard of all time but blimey it is so loud to type on. Also it is a Windows layout so doesn't work on my Mac without some annoying issues.
 
Since my cat destroyed my indestructible Topre Realforce TKL I've been using a Durgod red switched TKL. I also always try to buy a keyboard in white or cream as it aids legibility.
 
Been through a bunch over the years, used a Ducky Mini (60%) with blues since they were available via Ducky Nordic group buy but got an Epomaker TH80 Pro 75% with Flamingo switches I think (from checking my order) a year or two ago due to needing a 2nd keyboard with a change of desk setup, since ended up going back to a single desk but have kept using the Epomaker as have tried to tidy my desk a bit by reducing the number of wires and one or two of the switches on the Ducky Mini started playing up, and need to desolder etc to resolve so haven't got round to sorting that.

in general still like small(er) keyboards can't see myself ever going back to a full size really, but I haven't tried other layouts of designs like split keyboards etc, whenever I tried an 'ergonomic' style keyboard in the past with raised sections etc I didn't really lie them so never tried anything more unusual.
