Looking for a good mechanical keyboard for programming. I type 8-10 hours a day so comfort and key feel are the priority.

Requirements:

- Full-size or TKL

- Tactile switches (not linear)

- Hot-swappable preferred

- USB-C

- Budget: up to $200

I've heard good things about the Keychron Q1 and GMMK Pro. Any other suggestions?

Keychron Q5 (full-size) with Gateron Brown Pro switches. I program all day and it's been excellent. The gasket mount makes it much less fatiguing than plate-mount boards. Hot-swap, USB-C, under $200.
