I currently use the g915, but switching to Linux means no Logitech software so im looking for some alternatives.

I really like the 5 programable keys on the left, but I can’t seem to find any other keyboards that have that feature. I also like that its Bluetooth and has music control, but I mainly want the programmable keys

any QMK/VIA compatible keyboard should work, right?

I would check out Solaar before sending it to landfill.

Thought I was in the same boat as OP but with a mouse, this fixed it for me.

OP wouldn’t have to throw it away, he could also give it to some one

I don’t know if there is any love for Ducky here in the community, but I am very happy with my One 3 with Baby Kangaroo switches. You can program makros on it without any software, which is pretty nice. No separate keys, though. You would have to use combinations.

Much love. Very cool hardware but doesn’t beat dedicated button IMO. but key combos still have their place.
