Mechanical Keyboard Under $199?

Coming from the land of chicklets, mech keyboards look a bit sketchy to me. I need a quiet keyboard and I was looking at rubber domes as a backup if this mech stuff don't work. The Apex M800 looked very promising, but people say it's bad for typing. So, I need a keyboard that's quiet like the M800 and has the following features: (I'm picky, don't judge ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (Take note that I record daily so noise is a problem and I type often)

 

♠ RGB 16.8 million backlight (zones or individual keys would be nice)

♠ QUIET!! (think of chicklets and domes)

♠ Set of 5/6 macros on the left hand side 

♠ At least 1 year warranty :D

♠ Under $200

 

- Would be nice to have:

 

♠ Media keys

♠ USB Hub

 

 

If you play Geometry Dash, would you take the time to rate this demon? 14986973 ;3;

K65 RGB is pretty good but that thing doesn't have macro buttons. Try the K70

Just but rubber o-rings beneath the keys so the noise is dampened. :)
