Might treat myself to a nice keyboard since i am about to turn 26 years old what is a good recommendation for someone living in teh world's rear end in a top hat (NZ) ?

I would like a mech keyboard for good feeling but i type extremely loudly on regular kwewyboards so im thinking something not too loud would be great if possible.

also, must have number pad thing

afaik higher power consumption and more harsh on the eyes

also probably some backlash still from when they first became commerically viable and you couldn't take a poo poo withou tsomebody puttin ga blue led in it

buncha manufacturers just shove them in there because blues are considered to be a "premium" color for some reason (think the LEDs cost slightly more than for other colors)

problem is that they are the loving worst for night vision which is just loving great considering why you'd have lit keys in teh first place

also, they tend to be excessively bright which is ok if you're trying to 2extreme rice out your board or something
