She's growing up, and she's got a framework 13 laptop with fedora 40, which is great, but she's been using hand me down peripherals.

She'd love a decent mechanical KB as she likes the clicky clicky of the keys, but the last one I got her, a Lofree, basically bit the dust in no time.

She's SUPER into the aesthetics but doesn't want RGB led's, but DOES like a nice backlit keyboard.

When searching for it, amazon, best buy and the rest just pollute the results, so it's actually difficult to decide what to get her. Her birthday is coming up so this will be her main gift.

What have you all had good luck with that might be aesthetically pleasing, that the quality wasn't trash like Lofree.

EDIT: thank you for all your suggestions, I've sent her a bunch of links to look at and she's going through them now. I'll try to remember to post back what she picks.

I am a huge fan of Ducky keyboards, I am on my fourth keyboard from them

Ducky Shine 2 (black case, white keycaps, orange LEDs, MX Red Switches - Killed by dropping a 2L bottle of Fanta on it (don't do that).

Ducky Shine 4 (black case, black keycaps, red/blue LEDs, MX Brown switches) - Brought it to the office, used it for a few years, killed by water.

Duck One 2 Skyline - (dark grey case, dark grey, lighter grey and blue keycaps, no LEDs, MX Blue switches) - Still used at home, but now with the gorgeous Aloha KB Trailblazer keycap set.

Ducky One 2 Tuxedo - (black case, black white and red keycaps, no LEDs, MX Blue switches), spare board at home.

The One 3 has RGB and hotswap switches.

As for a mouse, I am a big fan of the Xtrfy M4/M42, it was my standard mouse, and still is brilliant. It has RGB, and the holes in it are great during summer, however I eecently moved to the Pulsar V3 xlite, which has much nicer design than the Cherry.

Another ducky fan!

I just got a ducky 3 and changed out to gateron smoothies.

So happy for the hot swap feature
