Read full review →Premium membrane (scissor) if you work in a shared space or take calls: quiet and low-profile. Mechanical if you enjoy typing and don't mind some noise: more tactile and durable. For programming, a mechanical with tactile (brown) switches is the most recommended.
TKL (no numpad) is the most balanced: it frees space to bring the mouse closer and reduce shoulder strain. Full-size only if you use the numpad daily. Compact (75%/65%) works on small desks at the cost of some keys.
Yes, especially with multiple machines. Multi-device Bluetooth lets you switch between laptop, desktop and tablet with one button. A 2.4 GHz USB receiver is more stable and lower latency for a single machine. Cable means zero latency but is less tidy.
