Hi! I'm looking for a sensible keyboard i can take into work. I don't want a backlight and 10 keyless models are preferable, and I need to be able to effectively change out the keycaps as I am a dvorak esdf (equivalent) user. I also love Cherry-MX-Browns so I need those! Someone please help!!!

id look at ducky I dont use them but they seem sensible they might all be backlit but you should be able to turn it off and cherry themselves make kbs but I think you need to order direct from them.

Filco Majestouch. There's no frills, so no spills. It's simple, clean and elegant, plus build like a tank.

Well searching around on amazon i found 2 keyboard that might fit your need. The first one is a filco and meet all of your demand, it's a tkl with no backlight and it has great build quality like all of filco product. The thing is that it's  quite expensive compare to the 2nd option the Cm storm tk, the tk is not a tkl but it's close it's very compact and has backlight but you can turn that off with no problems at all and it's about $30 less then the filco. 

Here's are the link to them(they both have brown cherry mx switch)
