What keyboard should I get?

[Tweed]

I've been an all time Apple user with a Macbook Pro, and I'm working on building my PC. I was wondering what I should get as my keyboard? I really like Corsair when I tried it out at Best Buy. So far my choice is between the Apple Magic Keyboard 2, Corsair Strafe RGB MX Silent, and Corsair k65 RGB. Any you recommend? I really really like the apple keyboards. Not much of a gamer, will do game here and there. I want something silent. I like the brushed aluminum of some of the corsair keyboards, unfortunately strafe has a plastic matte black finish.

I own the Corsair K70 RGB and really like it. Although honestly the RGB is kind of a gimmick and not really worth the extra money.

A word on noise: Avoid MX Blue switches. If you want the tactile bump get MX Browns (I have these). If you want linear get MX Reds. However, no matter which one you get your keyboard will be loud if you constantly bottom out the keys. If you do this a lot, install o-rings on the switches.

I don't know much about the Apple Magic keyboard or the other kinds of keyboards you are used to. Have you ever used a mechanical keyboard?

Okay, well they are just a little different feel, but they are very nice. The K65 comes with MX Red switches, they are linear without a click and one of the most popular options for gamers. A lot of typists prefer a tactile bump and/or click on the switch that lets you feel/hear when the keypress has registered before bottoming out, like the MX Browns (bump) or MX Blues (bump and click). Try several types if you can and see what you prefer. My experience was that I really didn't notice a whole lot of difference (the bump is very subtle) but I am happy with the MX Browns.
