Mine's the Max Keyboard Nighthawk X9.
Had it for 4 years now and still perfect. Its compact, sleek no BS macro keys or extra functions keys or whatever, no stupid LCDs, just plain becklit mechanical keyboard.
And its built like a tank.
Rosewill RK-9000BR, Cherry MX Brown switches, no frills, mechanical keyboard. So nice to type on. Ok two frills, braided PS/2 and USB cables, and a redish background way under the keys (no lights, just a red color down there).
Sounds just right to me, I like using browns, for now, on my current Ducky keyboard.
But I know those Topre switches are in a different league.
There is a Topre board at a shop in my area selling for a bit of a discount, currently on sale. But it's a ZA0100 "Type Heaven", whatever that is, lol.
Das Keyboard 4C "Clicky" model. Really nice TKL keyboard with greetech blue switches, very similar to cherry. Using a set of blue and white keycaps from wasdkeyboard too and I love it

From EliteKeyboards:
"No flashing lights and sideshow features; the Type Heaven is purely a touch-typist's keyboard made for endless days and nights of typing and offers the same excellent build quality and silky-smooth keystroke of Topre's Realforce boards, but at considerably lower price. "
Logitech G510s. The main features that I love are the 18 macro keys (that can hold up to 54 macros or texts) and the illuminated keyboard. I don't need the illumination but an illuminated keyboard is pretty much the only way to get keys that have characters that will not wear off (I need the characters on the keys due to learning disabilities) and get the number of macro keys this keyboard has. I actually bought a spare since Logitech, in its infinite wisdom (end sarcasm), has discontinued the keyboard and I may buy yet another spare.
The next favorite keyboard was the one I got with my first XP desktop computer, a Gateway. It was so good, I used it with my second XP desktop computer, a POS Acer that came with a lackluster keyboard. I used that one a total of ten years.

Razer black widow ultimate elite before they started "cheaping out". I think it was 2014 model?
Went from gold sc2 ladder to diamond within a week, no BS. Then life happened and had a beautiful son, so the blue switches had to go(by far too loud when my office is next room from nursery)
. Now I play with a corsair RGB with cherry reds and BOY, do I miss my blue switches.
The brown version was sold out for months so I settled on the red version.

Filco Majestouch 2 Ninja w/ Browns. Types like living in heaven, built like it could surivive through hell.
I have own some other boards but this is the only I don't feel like selling at all. I just love that stealthy black Filco logo on the board!
Korean keyboards are some of the best I've ever owned (also have SSK, RF 55g uniform, a bunch of Filcos, Noppo Choc mini, LZ-MX mini, HHKB-MX, HHKB, Leopolds, GHSS, Cherry G84-4100 scissor switch, Poker, Pure, etc).
Have used almost all cherry style switches but have only ever owned 2 keyboards. My newest MagicForce 68 with Gateron Reds is my favorite so far. I used a blackwidow with older cherry mx blues. Have used MX Cherry Reds, Browns, and Blacks before. The Gateron Reds are noticeably smoother than MX Cherry Reds, can tell by the plastic too. its more of a polished plastic vs the rougher, matte plastic on the cherry switch.
Stock keycaps on the MF68 are not that good, very thin. New keycaps will be a huge improvement.
