very unsure what direction to go.
I'm not a fan of overly calickity keyboards and most quiet mechanical keyboards i've seen seem pretty pricey for just a keyboard. I'm not a fan of dealing with batteries and i worry about latency so it'll probably be wired. in a brief search the best keyboard i found was a gaming one with 'wasd' in a different color as well as some other - egregious in my eyes - design choices.
also, wifi. i'd prefer just a usb but the reviews of every single one i found were pretty bad and my wifi has to travel through a ceiling so I guess i gotta go with a card.
i'd love to hear any recommendations, reviews, or uncalled-for insults.
I'd highly recommend the Logitech G600 for mouse. I fuckin' love it. Very nice build quality, the buttons are all programmable with 3 profiles to save. As far as keyboards go. The best option for not too loud mechanical would probably be your corsair boards, but it really depends on the switches in the buttons with red being loud and brown being quieter. I'd stay away from anything razor now as since they were bought out their build quality is horrendous.
