Are there any good mechanical keyboards available on Amazon? (lemmy.one)

I've been wanting to try out a mechanical keyboard for a while and I think I finally have the opportunity. The control keys on my old Alienware keyboard stopped working after I spilled some coffee on it, so I need a replacement. Also, I have an Amazon gift card. I see lots of mechanical keyboards on there with good reviews, but I was hoping to find some more guidance here. As far as what I'm looking for, I really just want something nicer to type with, but hopefully not too loud. A number pad and arrow keys would be nice, but maybe the smaller versions have some type of quick way to get that functionality when I need it. Any advice?

I bought a Logitech g613 on Amazon. I wanted a normal size keyboard but wireless. Prior to this I was married to my dell multimedia keyboards that have proven reliable for a long time.

I don’t use those weird programmable keys on the left but they don’t bother me much anymore either.

Overall I do really like it. Every now and the. It will freak out and start jsut repeating a key press but only happens on windows. It could be some driver wonk or something like msi afterburner/ruvatuner causing it, or the kvm I run through.

As someone that has been hoarding those older black dell multimedia keyboards for years and using them exclusively, this is the first one that I haven’t ditched and gone back to.
