here are particular keyboard designs/characteristics i like:
- linear switches with lighter springs, big love to silent linears
- as an extension, topre (clones specifically)
- dsa profile keycaps (shorter uniform keycaps in general)
- low-profile cases
- compact 1800, 96key, and 60%+ w/ southpaw numpad form factors
- non-aggressive typing angles (preferably neutral), negative tilts are a big plus
