Why they’ll love it
Can be matched to their desk, typing feel and taste in a way an ordinary keyboard cannot.
Layouts, switches and keycaps add personality without tying the gift to one task.
A well-built keyboard can stay useful through several computer upgrades.
How to pick a good one
A quick keyboard decoder:
Layout controls desk space and whether they keep a number pad.
Switches can feel smooth, tactile or loudly clicky—the last calls for sympathy toward housemates and coworkers.
Connections decide whether it works wired, wirelessly and with their preferred operating system.
Once those are right, the lighting can have its moment.
