Keychron K4v2 with SonixQMK can be customized to anything you want. I daily it in Linux and windows. I game in Linux, and work in windows (bleh) but I still want Macro's to pass the HID port on my KVM so I just build custom key codes.
Any of the QMK/VIA supported boards are great in linux, so find the layout, and style you want. The K series are the older ones and they require more effort to get QMK running since they run on the Sonix/Evision MCU.
As for mice, i have a Glorious D- because I have small hands, and its fine. I could control it with OpenRGB but I dont care enough and it gets messy with a KVM.
Alrighty nice one!
The Glorious mouse is a pain in the ass. It literally prevents my laptop from booting sometimes when it's plugged in.
Keychron, however, I can back 100%. I have two of their C2 wired mechanicals, one with white backlight and one without. I use the backlit one on my personal gaming machine and use the non-backlit one on my work machine in the office. Sometimes gaming is in the dark but work never is. They make a very well built keyboard. Robust, easy to repair when anything goes wrong.
The glorious was a replacement for my razor death adder which lived up to it's name and died. It was also even worse with Linux and a KVM. Plus it's software was behind required account.
It's fine but I'm just using it as a dumb mouse.
