Looking for a new keyboard

[Thomas Foraenos]

I've been using a Logitech G15 keyboard since 2006.  Since Christmas, i've been upgrading my computer to be my first all new rig since 2012, and the last remnants of that old system is pretty much my keyboard.  I'm looking to upgrade, but..  I've been having difficulty finding anything that has piqued my curiousity as much as the G15 did almost 15 years ago.  I've want to move up to a mechanical keyboard, but I'm having a hard time settling on one, because none seem to have the features (or gimmicks) I most desire.  I've given up on the LCD as being a gimmick of its era, but i really do prefer having a full 104+ key set (even if i only use the numpad for pinning into my PC), having dedicated media controls, and having the usb passthrough on the back of the keyboard is nice for when I need to plug in something quickly.  I've scoured newegg, and checked some on amazon as well as microcenter's site, but there wasn't anything that i really fell in love with.  The G910 was close, but i've heard very polarized comments about the Romer switches, and while the full analogue key caps on the Wooting 2 keyboard is neat, i hear support for them is a mixed bag, and i'd also be giving up the media control keys i value, and neither has the USB passthrough.

 

Anyone got any recommendations for a keyboard that might tick as many of these boxes as possible, listed in order of importance to me.

Fullsize 104000 key

Mechanical

Media Keys

USB passthrough
other gimmicks

Logitech is my preferred brand, as well, but it's by no means a requirement of mine.  Thanks in advance, y'all.

The Razer Huntsman Elite has everything except for USB passthrough.

I'm no keyboard guru and it's out of my normal purchase range but i guess if G910 is acceptable then so may this be:

Corsair CH-9127014-UK K95
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CH-9127014-UK-Platinum-Multi-Colour-Mechanical/dp/B01N9OIRSD

It has noUSB passthrough but ithas the CUE RGB and the Cue Macros features which are cool

@RobinD - Very good recommendation and has everything the OP is asking for.  The K95 Platinum and Platinum XT both actually have USB pass-through.  They might not have mentioned it in the videos is all.

What is your budget for the replacement keyboard?  That will definitely play a factor in options.  Also, any preference on switch type?
