I use this one Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Keyboard | Kinesis Gaming[^] with the optional lift kit and it's the greatest I've used in 30+ years of programming. I also added a seperate numeric keypad. The ergonomics with the lift kit, choice of cherry switches, and the programmable left keys all make it a great keyboard. I love cherry brown switches for tactile feedback with very little clack.

You could look for e-ink devices running android. There are a few. E-ink is also perfectly visible in sunlight.

Depends on why. I'd never recommend doing it for resume or bragging reasons. If you're at a company who needs so many people certified to maintain partnership, then that's one reason (and they should be paying for it). If you're at a company who pays bonuses to get the cert, that's another good reason. If you want to learn the breadth of a specialized topic, then just study and prepare for the test. Learning all the areas they want you to learn in order to pass the tests and experimenting with them, gives you a decent understanding at a mile high level of the topic and that's a very useful thing. Then you don't need to take the test, you've pursued and gotten the knowledge. I've twice gone for and received my mcsd cert, but I don't even put it on my resume anymore, one it's expired, two it only matters to consulting companies (where I was working when I got them). As a interviewer or hirer, I'm not impressed at all to see the credentials and even less so if someone tries to mention them as if they were impressive. You're side experiments or your body of work should be what you're judged on, not your learning past or your certifications.

Better make sure it's on an m-disc. Normal dvd-r's have a very finite life before the ink layer seperates from the protective layer (I've been caught before thinking my backup dvds were good). In a high humidity environment of warmer than normal temps, the avg life could be about 2 years.
