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

To be honest, I've never used or heard of a keyboard or mouse that doesn't work with Linux. The space is pretty well standardized so generic drivers work for everything. I don't have experience with keyboard layouts that aren't English QWERTY, though. The safest option would be something basic from a major brand, extra stuff like RGB is not 100% guaranteed to work.

Logitech MX Master 3 doesn't work well in Bluetooth mode, at least for me it's unusable. MX Master 2S works great on the same computer. But neither of them supports remapping the extra keys, so I'd say neither of them works 100%.

I have an MX3 and you can map not just keys but per-application macro actions using solaar

I also use MX master 3 via Bluetooth without any problems.
