The Tex Shinobi is an excellent upgrade if you've got the cash. I've been using one for a few months now and absolutely adore the typing/tracking experience.

Did not know about Tex, that is actually an amazing suggestion for my use-case.

Considering the embarassing amount of money I spent on other mechanical keyboards this is definitely in the affordable category.

What switches are you using? I am always afraid of the noise level with mech switches but I have used silent reds and they were ok for me noise wise.

I'm using silent reds on my board, but they're a little rattly. If you like linear switches, I'd probably suggest the regular reds for a uniform, smooth feel. The Bluetooth module is also a nice investment, but certainly not necessary.

Again, stupidly expensive keyboard for what it is. However, I can totally see myself picking up another one as backup in a few years. It really is a layout that feels right.

After spending more time and money than on fancy keyboards than I'd like to admit, two of these side by side (an informal 'split' keyboard) is by far the easiest on my wrists and shoulder blades.
