I have a Das Model S Professional with Cherry MX Browns. Basically the Pro 6 without the fancy stuff (no lighting, no media controls, usb-a hub instead of usb-c, flip feet instead of screw-in). Feels great. Definitely my favorite at the moment, and if I ever want the bells and whistles I'll probably get the Pro 6 or whatever it's called then.
The only other brand I haven't tried that I want to is Filco. I've heard good things but never had the chance to type on one.

I almost bought a Filco, but they are sold out. Designed in Japan, made in Taiwan. All the Filcos left are in the $200 range now with shipping from Japan.

I've got a Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless with Cherry MX Browns. It's fine - the problem with it is that (for me) MX switches (and most MX compatibles) just aren't that great for typing. I'd say my favourite switches are probably the ALPS style switches in my Matthias TactilePro - those have got a much nicer feel, IMO.
Having said that, I've got some Kailh Box Pinks ready to go into another, hot-swap keyboard - I'm hoping they've got more weight and tactility than other MX compatibles...

May I please inquire why your site requests a "certificate for authentication" and what such a certificate is as I do not know other than from web search which as near as I can discern is merely a kind of user ID issued to permitted users but as I am a first time visitor requesting such makes no sense as near as I can discern.

I will never, ever go back to a rubber dome keyboard. Mechanical only for me.
I love the click and the noise. And I love having each finger be able to tell exactly when the keypress is registered.
Too bad I can't get a mechanical keyboard on my favorite laptop.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I had to look up what a rubber dome keyboard was ...
That keyboard in the movie with Bruce Willis, Live free or die I think. When the girl shows up at the Gas Junction in WV and breaks out that keyboard, and starts hacking away. Suppose if I was parachuting into a hot location, that would be the keyboard of choice.
Didn't know that some desktop keyboards are rubber domed as well, my bad.

My first loved keyboard, was of course the IBM that everyone talks about, but that I cannot think of the model name. Those keycaps had a metallic feel to them. EDIT: It was the original IBM Model M keyboard! That used a kind of technology called buckling spring, where a small spring was used to produce the click and give that oh so perfect feel.

Yup - the Model M (now made by Unicomp) is still a king of keyboards...

I bought a Lenovo ThinkPad primarily to get the good keyboard (and great display).

I recently got a configurable keyboard: Glorious GMMK 1 Full Size + Glorious Keycaps + original Cherry MX blue transparent switches. Got to love that tactile feel to the keys... and those waves of rainbow lighting gently sweeping across it (and the matching mouse, a Glorious Model O)
Afterwards I realised the keyboard has a Scroll Lock key and a little light for it, but it somehow does not seem to support it, i.e. the Scroll Lock light never comes on (this was mentioned in a review too, which I then found). This doesn't bother me really, because I came to realise I have never used it. Has anyone else here?

Older KVM switch, still in use, requires Scroll-Lock, Scroll-Lock, Spacebar to bring up menu (5 systems on the KVM). Also has push buttons on the rack mounted unit. Other than that, I don't recall using it.

I have a Logitech K350 and the Scroll Lock is an Fn-key option on the Pause/Break key.
The only thing I know Scroll Lock does is that, when used in Excel, it changes the action of the cursor keys to pan the sheet around instead of moving between cells. I've never found a use for doing this!

My MSI Vigor GK20 works pretty well - and at £25, it wouldn't be the end of the world if I decided I didn't like it.

I have had a Das Keyboard 4 Professional MX Blue "clicky" keyboard for the last three years. I would recommend it to anybody.
It replaced my IBM PS/2 keyboard from 1987 "The Best Keyboard in the World"; it cost me 1 Gulden but even it gave up the ghost after 32 years.
Long live quality.

My personal opinion for coding or any heavy review/typing is a split keyboard. I use the KinesisGaming and it has been an amazing improvement. The next level up of split keyboards are at a price point beyond what I am willing to spend at the moment. Although, editing outside of an editor that allows the use of JKHL and other shortcuts probably should push me to go next level. Reaching for those arrow keys is like slamming on the breaks at 90 miles per hour.
Shortly after I improved my development speed significantly by not using the mouse for anything other than casual use of the computer or an editor, the realities of the strain on the body of holding your hands together on a keyboard for extended periods of time started to kick in. This basically restores the physical strain to that of someone who keeps their left hand on the keyboard and their right hand on the mouse 90% of the time.

That keyboard is hardcore.
I got carpel tunnel in 2003 from a bad desk and keyboard setup, and it took years to shake it off and heal. Took up wood working and made some new custom ergonomic desks and got some keyboard trays that can push in and out and go up and down. Now I rest my hands on the tray and just let my fingers move.
I tried ergonomic keyboards and it improved my typing skills, but one day I used a straight keyboard and I was able to jam faster and it was more comfortable, so I stayed with straight keyboards.
I tend to use both the mouse and keyboard, finding myself CTR-C, CTR-V, CTR-S SHT-TAB often.

Probably be a really bad marketing manager for a technical device if (your pronoun of choice) claimed anything else.

I just managed to eat a bowl of granola, and I think it's going to stay down - which would be nice.
Hopefully I'll be back to normal tomorrow or the next day.
