For all the normal people, the really good keyboards come from Logitech
(with the one exception of the legendary IBM PS2 keyboard, where you can hear the typing in the next 3 rooms and it swallows years and years of coffee stains and cigarette ash without ever failing and if you hit your burglar's head with it, he won't get up anymore so you can just continue typing...)
Only if you want your keyboard's firstname to be "Gaming", you have to look elsewhere.
Logitech isn't bad, but I'd consider them mid to high tier at best.
I am however boycotting them since they broke my trust a few years ago, and I have had no indication that they have stopped.
They broke my trust by installing programs on my computer without my consent.
I bought a Logitech MX Ergo trackball mouse for work and connected it to my computer, within seconds and without asking me for permission they installed Logitech Download Assistant and made it show a popup.
I am fine with automatically getting drivers from Windows Update when I connect a USB device, but I will not accept installing programs on my computer without asking me for consent. I pride myself on having a clean system (as much as Windows can be), knowing what is installed and from where, and Logitech forced their crap on me.
You want a good keyboard/mouse?
Go for Ducky for the keyboard, and pick Xtrfy or Pulsar for your mouse. The Xtrfy mouse doesn't even use any software on the computer, the Pulsar can use software on your computer but it is optional and any settings made in it are saved to the mouse, I even set mine up with the software in a VM where I passed the mouse directly through to the guest Windows 10 machine, then when I trusted the software did I install it on my normal machine, and only really use it to check the battery level.
I’m sorry, (and I don’t know what this individual means by “normal people”) but this is bad advice. Please do not buy Logitech anything, especially not a MX keeb.
Yeah, I'm kinda out on Logitech after their recent money grab.
