Mechanical keyboard?

[GoogalyMoogaly]

Hey all, me again!

Is there a forum section for keyboards?

I'd like to get a really nice gaming keyboard as I'm using a pretty cheap Logitech media keyboard at the minute.

I'm just not sure what to go for. I've heard good things about mechanical keyboards, but also a lot of people have said they are loud to type on. I don't want a loud keyboard.

So are all mechanical keyboards loud or is it just specific ones?

What about if I don't go with a mechanical keyboard, what are my best options then? Logitech seem to do some nice ones, but they're not cheap!

Pretty much narrowed this down now to the Qpad MK-50, the Razer Black Widow Expert or the Logitech G510 (I know this isn't mechanical, I'm still worried about the noise).

Do you need flashy lights / macro / media keys?

Not so worried by flashy lights. Media and to a lesser extent macro keys are handy.
