[citation][nom]vanwazltoff[/nom]das keybaords are way more than i want to spend on keyboard, the CM quick fires are also stretching it. ideally i want to get something that is comfortable above all else. not sure which cherry mx switches i would like the most, but i prefer a reasonable quiet keyboard with not a lot of resistance. i have had 4 chiclet keyboards and thats what i got used to, so preferably i would like something similar to that or between that and a standard keyboard. i am trying to go as wireless as possible, i have a desk but im on the couch most of the time, so cords get in the way and are an overall inconvenience plus family member tend to trip over cords, my rat 5 can attest to that as its been thrown across the room by idiots tripping over it about a 100 times[/citation]
cherry mx blue is the one with tactical feel and sound
cherry mx brown is tactical feel
cherry mx black is silent with 60 gram force
cherry mx red is silent with 40 gram force
bare minimum you are looking at with a mechanical keyboard is 60$, as thats the base cost of the switches.
i recommend the das keyboard because i know those have plates, and can be found for 110$ some places online.
if you want any other kind of switch beside the cherry, you are looking at spending more money than what the das keyboards cost, because they are rarer or out of production.
if you are just concerned about cable length, than i can recommend a usb cable extension, it may not be pretty but it offers you FAR more options than just wireless keyboards.
i did a quick search in case wireless was non negotiable, i didnt see a way to make a wired keyboard wirless with a bridge but i did find this out

and Filco use to make Bluetooth keyboards, both are kind of expensive though, i would recommend the filco as they use a mounting plate i believe.
