    All keyboard layouts can be customized in software but some keyboard hardware like QMK can be programmed in hardware, which makes it especially convenient for switching computers.

      Where do you use it? Do you have to use different computers at work or do you just carry your keyboard with you all the time in case you have to use some friend’s computer?

        You just never have to reconfigure it if you reinstall, or move to another computer, or dual-boot etc.

        Work PC and personal PC on the same desk, with a KVM switch to seamlessly switch between them.

        Keyboards like Keychron are able to store BT connection info for multiple computers. So, you can easily switch between, say, your desktop, your server, and your laptop, as needed. Or bring it to work, or whatever. The point is that being able to use the same high quality keyboard with every device is nice if you do a lot of typing.
