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

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

any QMK/VIA compatible keyboard should work, right?

I have the g815 - same keyboard, wired version.

You can use Piper to configure your macro G-keys.

Music control works out of the box.

I love Keychron’s keyboards.

I got myself one of System76’s Launch Keyboard. Mostly because they are a Linux first company and wanted to sponsor them a bit. I will say that the keyboard is not cheap, but it does feel quit nice and sturdy. It does have a built in dock; which is pretty nice.
