A month ago I opined that no true Scotsman Emacser would view anything but the Space Cadet Keyboard as the apotheosis of keyboards for Emacs users. I was promptly schooled that, to the contrary, most Emacs users today have no desire for a Space Cadet Keyboard. I remain firm in my desire for one but I bow to the prevailing view.
But if the Space Cadet Keyboard is not the pinnacle, what is? The TL;DR is that no one knows. Everyone, it seems, has their own idea of the ideal Emacs keyboard. Over at the Emacs subreddit, yibie asks what keyboards will people be using for Emacs in 2025. The striking thing is that there are almost as many answers as there are comments. Everyone appears to have their own preferred keyboard that they swear by.
I remained convinced that the most important thing in choosing an Emacs keyboard is mappings for Hyper and Super. Every modern keyboard has Ctrl and Meta (as Alt) covered but there is no standard way of mapping Meta and Super.
In any event, if you have your own views, feel free to jump in and share what you’re using.
