So I just got my "dream job" right out of college. The company has a relatively open office floor-plan. Only directors and VPs have their own office, so I need to be cognizant of others when picking my keyboard. I'm looking at getting a 60 percent mechanical keyboard, probably the Vortex Pok3r. I currently use MX Greens, so I guess my real question is what switches should I look at getting? I'm leaning towards the browns.

Also, are there any other great keyboards I should take into consideration? I'm looking at Ducky also.

/inb4 build one.

Ducky are solid.
Browns best middle level switches imo.
cherry MX is the brand.

Logitech is alright also.

I know that Cherry has recently released other switches, such as their silvers, silent red and blacks, etc.
Does anyone have any experience with these and their "clickiness"?

I like the tactile feedback.

I don't think Logitech make 60%? I could be wrong. I just haven't come across any.

Ah. A 60% keyboard is a smaller frame and does not include keypad, etc. Look up the Vortex POK3R and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Happy Hacker has great reviews, but I'll never justify spending nearly $300 on a keyboard lol.

The Ducky One is a ten-key-less keyboard. The have various cherry MX keys for selection. As for quiet, they also sell o-rings for the keys, that will make any key silent.
