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?

My main keyboard is a slightly modded Royal Kludge RK84. No number pad on this one, but still has arrow keys, F keys, the ~ key, can be wired and wireless, and the switches are hotswappable (which is great if you ever want to swap them out to something more your style, or to easily replace one if it doesn't work anymore).

If you want a quieter keyboard don't ever go with "clicky" or cherry mx blue switches or similar.
