If he doesn’t have a mechanical keyboard yet, you could consider that. Keep in mind, you’d have to do a fair bit of research. There are obviously plenty of gamer options off the shelf, but I’m thinking something more boutique with a great looking keycap set.

Devs spend a lot of time with a keyboard and they will last a decently long time so imo it could be a meaningful gift.

I’d highly recommend checking out the mechanical keyboard subreddit for inspiration.

Good idea IMO, but I think he should choose the one he wants. There are different variants that sound and feel different, and it's a matter of preference. Only he can know which one he likes the most.

That’s a great point, I agree.
