What is a good, simple, and a solid mechanical keyboard

I don't give a crap about backlight, programmable keys, and extra keys. I just want a simple keyboard i can plug in and be able to use. I just want it to be solid mechanical keyboard (in the keys, braided wire that I can unplug, arm rest, etc.) I want them to put money where it counts.

 

P.S. I already know about the Poseidon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (both of them)

Cooler Master (CM Storm) is your best bet then.

What switch do you want?

Do you need the num-pad and stuff on that side of the keyboard? Everybody's been suggesting the CM Storm Quickfire series and they're all correct.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.
