Mechanical keyboards that don't ping?

Thread Starter 
Anyone with experience with pinging mechanical keyboards know of any mechanical keyboards that don't ping? There is conflicting answers on what does or doesn't ping and whether someone hears the ping or not. I think the reason is because certain people are able to hear the high frequency sound while others are not.

Maybe I should revise that question to keyboards with the least amount of pinging.

No, it's not a click. It's a metallic pinging sound that happens whether you actuate the key or not.

Rubber dome and scissor switch keyboards don't ping.

No springs.

I am curious, would you recommend a scissor switch keyboard for gaming that is full size with proper key spacing and size? I hear the Logitech Illuminated keyboard has issues with something as simple as Shift + w + any other key.

I like the Apple Aluminum Bluetooth Wireless.

Although made of metal it does not ping. And my Asus P8P67 Deluxe motherboard has built in bluetooth and works fine with it.

I also have the Logitech K400 but it ended up being a standard rubber dome. Meh.

Definitely not a fan of the flat keys of the Apple. I will be gaming so i don't want to think about where my fingers are on the keyboard.
