Ducky makes the best keyboards available. Their a Japanese company. Want to say they range from $100-$200. Last time I checked a lot of their models were sold out though. I have one and love it.
Second this. I’ve had my ducky one since 2016
Agree 100%. I bought some Ducky board from Micro Center on sale like 3-4 years ago.
Daskeyboard, and go with the blue switches -- you need the whole floor to know when you're working.
Big fan of Logitech's keyboards - I use a Logitech MX Keys (wireless) to take to the office with me and a G815 at home. The MX Keys is a lot quieter - but it is sleek, light-weight, and the keys have a good feel to them. The G815 is mechanical, so a bit louder (hence why I keep it at home), but the 'low-profile' keys make typing and working on it a breeze.
Can confirm. The Logitech MX Keys is the absolute best.

Get some Cherry MX blue switches and let's see if you last until noon without being shit canned.

Agree with Ducky. Most of the Japanese keyboards will work if you can't find them.
DO NOT get blue switches, your bullpen will kill you. Browns are probably fine for most offices, silent red/black will also work. I like Cherry switches though, more options if you look on reddit or wherever for quiet(er) mechanical keyboards
Browns are definitely not okay for a bullpen. Go for reds - you can also use it for FPS :)

where all the analysts sit together
I like Microsoft Ergonomic series. Both for mouse and keyboard.
If you go to reddit there's a good buy and sell page, if you stick to known keys and ppl with good posting history you can snag a great keyboard at good price. Funny story, I did this a while back and ended up buying mine from someone who turned out to work IB at GS.
