I'm looking to get a new keyboard for christmas as my current one (One of those Microsoft comfort curve ones) sounds like a tin box full of nails when I'm typing on it.

I'm not too fussed on whether its mechanical or not I just like the feel of a mechanical keyboard for typing on, I think its the longer keystroke on the mecahnical keyboards that I like as I hate laptop keyboards because the key travel is only a couple of mm.

I'm more interested in a good keyboard for typing on rather than gaming as the sound of this keyboard drives me nuts, and my dad especially if he's in the next room trying to work or sleep while I'm typing away frantically at 3 in the morning at an essay.

You will not find a quiet mechanical keyboard. This one is easy on the ears and aesthetically pleasing.

Thanks, that keyboard looks good and the solar thing could be awesome but since its a low profile keyboard does it have quite a short travel for the key?
 
Yes it does, I specced a low profile keys keyboard because they're quieter than full height keys.

Key travel like a laptop keyboard.

Thanks I'd prefer full height keys as I don't like low profile keys for typing on.

Would something with the Cherry Brown Switches be reasonably quiet?
 
This keyboard is not Mechanical, but it is very quiet. I also find that the back lit key icons help a lot when typing at night.

The key travel is nice, and each key feels cushioned when fully depressed but without the annoying springy-ness that you would get from most non mechanical keyboards.

It has media and volume controls. It also has 12 Reprogramable "G" Keys, then 3 profiles for them, so in essence 36 Reprogramable keys. These can be assigned macro's with delays, great for running up a few 100 high spiral staircase to your house on minecraft...

It has Mic and Headphone ports. Also has a full speed USB 2.0 socket. Built in grooves to the underside also help with cable management of your other desk devices. The wrist rest is removable.

Keys light up Red-Blue and any mixture of both. Purple for the Girlfriend.

Its a great keyboard.
