Best Mechanical Keyboard for coding?

Have been looking for a good mechanical keyboard for coding/development, I'm not a big fan of RGB/gaming keyboards. I've seen people using vortexgear race 3 but this one doesn't ship to my country and can't find it anywhere else. So looking for suggestions and personal experiences with mechanical keyboards (if possible)

I've been using the Keychron K2 for a couple years now and I love it. It is wireless with up to 3 different bluetooth connections so I can easily switch to different computers. It's switchable for mac or pc. Compact, and decent battery life.

Oooo, I'll be interested to hear what you think of it! I have the red switches, so I'll be curious to know your experience.

I'm new to the mechanical keyboard, so that I bought some cheap mechanical keyboards just to try them. My first mechanical keyboard is Rexus Legionare MX5.1 TKL red switches. And the second one is Rexus Legionare MX3.2 brown switches.

I also like to try some better mechanical keyboard, like Keychron K6. I watched some review on youtube, and I think it suits me.

Recently I've bought Logitech G915 with Tactile switches - so far the best keyboard I've been using for coding. It has RGB and other gaming stuff though, but I think it's worth mentioning anyway.

I have Logitech G613(Has gaming mode but I don't use much, no rgb) because a coworker ordered one damaged, and got a free replacement. So I bought it from him, and best keyboard I've ever used now I own two home/work. I think romer-g keys are close to red/brown. It is kind of on the big side because of the number pad and shortcut keys.

The Kinesis Advantage 2 is shaped to fit a more natural human wrist angle.
