Best Keyboard for Programming [2020 Update]

A computer programmers most important tool (besides our glorious minds, of course) is the keyboard. A keyboard is vessel in which you turn the solutions to problems into code, and thus it’s vitally important that every developer has a keyboard they feel awesome with.

Best Headphones for Programming in 2020

Any experienced programmer can tell you that achieving a flow state while coding is one of the most fulfilling professional you can hope to have.

Entering the “flow state” can be described as when you become engrossed in your work, and your coding flows effortlessly. In these flow states, it’s possible to be extremely productive and creative, taking your work to a new level!

flow state programming

Many programmers find it hard to achieve a flow state in their day-to-day work, and one of the biggest culprits are outside distractions. In a world of open office plans and chatty coworkers, your best bet for distraction-free working is through the use of one of our best headphones for programming!

Headphones help out programmers in two major ways –

  • Signaling to others that you aren’t open for chit-chat. Most people will see that you’re wearing headphones and take it as a sign that you don’t wish to be disturbed, and will be less likely to interrupt you with non-critical chatter. Less interruptions is always a good thing!
  • Blocking out external noise. External conversations can be extremely disrupting, especially on open-office environments. Headphones can help keep the background noise from invading your subconscious and keep you focused on your task.

It didn’t take too much convincing for me to pull the trigger on my first (and still, only) crowd funding campaign.

I certainly wasn’t alone as the company raised ~$691,000 to build out this promising programmer’s dream keyboard. It took 48 project updates and nearly 3 years (they had originally planned on shipping in about 1 year, hah) but finally my package arrived in late July of 2018.

Was it worth the wait? Is it worth the estimated retail price of $275?

Here are my thoughts.
