(I have been programming for +20y for +8 hours minimum a day) I tried so many keyboards. Types and brands. Mechanical are unfortunately a no go because of the noise (I am not alone in the office) and the required position of the arm, wrist and hand (if I want to have everything aligned naturally and because of the height of the keys and the keyboard).

Finally, the best (for me) is the Microsoft Modern Keyboard with Fingerprint ID. Only complains: missing removable battery and missing some separation space between "blocks" (numpad, f keys, arrows, etc). IMPORTANT: it would not use it for gaming.

On the go, the keyboard of my Lenovo X1 carbon is fantastic.

You mentioned that the keys are too noisy for mechanical keyboards, but have you tried Cherry Silent Red switches? Here's a video that explains the Cherry MX mechanical switches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlSPH3HvxhQ

Yes, unfortunately. My 130USD cherry keyboard ended as an expensive toy for my toddler (he was using it without being connected). :(

The issue is not only the switch but the resonance with the keyboard (even with plastic rings).

(Gaming with it was superb, but I needed one for programming. Different use case.)
