I am sorely tempted to get this...

I prefer working with a TKL design and layout and I tend to have macro's programmed one way or the other via the use of third party apps. The WhiteFox keyboard

is my recommendation to the programmer in my circle. Switch type is all based on personal preference so I'd leave that up to the person to dictate which switch to gun for. If I'm buying the keyboard for them...em, I'd try and find what sort of switches they prefer 😀

Here is another keyboard suggestion

if you thought the Whitefox might have limitations in it's design/RGB-ness.

If the person you're eyeing to buy a gift for already has their keyboard of choice but wants to add a splash of color to their pride and joy, you can buy them a keycap set, courtesy of Pimpmykeyboard. Depending on the stem of your keyboard you have limitless opportunities...well, the wallet would be the limiter here 😛
