Thanks for alerting me to these, I've kept looking at the proper 10keyless keyboards like Topre [0] thinking "Really? Is it worth that much?".
Be good to try something cheaper, though the single-height enter key would drive me CRAZY.

Something is only worth how much you will use it. If you will use your keyboard every day from now until the cataracts and arthritis gets you then you'll probably find it worth the money to invest in good tooling. My keyboard was is actually and open boz/broken from manufacturer version of an OK one, I paid 37$. Worth twice that for how easy it makes typing and these are bad switches mind you.
I agree, but until I have tried one (never having used mechanical keys) I don't know how much it's worth to me :)
This one looks good enough: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Water-Resistant-VicTop-Mechanical-W...
IF you're concerned wrap it in some kind of cloth but for under 30 bucks it's not a major concern if you get a decent lifespand out of it. I'd say anything over 2 years is a huge win.
