I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard

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.
