Help me find my future keyboard!

BakaPetra

My old almost 30 years old IBM keyboard ( 1993 model M ) in it's way out, so I'm looking for a new one.

please suggest some keyboards that match the following requirements:

 

- Wired ( at least 1,5 - 2m cable )

- Metal body

-Has backlight

-Mechanical ( I prefer blue switches )

 

THX for all of your suggestions, I'll choose one at the end of next week :) !

system out println("Please don't drop it Linus!");

Setup:

Thinkpad W530 😕

Some comic sans because why not

I have this keyboard with brown switches and it's amazing for the money. Also has a removable type c cable so you can put whatever length you like on it (although I think the in box cable is in your length range)
