Mechanical keyboards are perfectly suited for programming. Many brands deliver their keyboards with convenient software for customization, so that you can be freely remap arbitrary keys or assign custom macros to them. This comes particularly handy for programming, where special characters like braces, dollar sign or backslash are often needed and various keyboard shortcuts are regularly used. Popular examples for such software are ICUE from Corsair, Synapse from Razer and OP from Fnatic Gear.
Moreover, the known advantages of mechanical keyboards over common membrane keyboards are very appreciated by programmers. Stability and durability of mechanical keyboards help reducing errors and save valuable time during programming.
