Rapoo and Logitech also have a few of these keyboards, Cherry has one too I think.

Had my dell xps 17 for like 5 years now, really used to it :D

 

and mechanical keyboards sounds really loud no?, if im playing later at night in the same room my girlfriend might start complaining. 

 

But idk, maybe mechanical keyboard feels better to play on for gaming? I feel like i need to test it before i buy maybe

I have one of them (I actually have the MK0 set, but it's actually the same keyboard) and it's pretty decent, but the only issue I've had was with double spacing which might be because of the way I have it connected.

xD i dont mind the double spacing but its too cheap, i want something backlit maybe, spending like £2700 on pc total lmao, dont want £5 keyboard lmao, its a good deal tho imo

That's just a discounted price, and not the full price as it's a £13 keyboard (and the double spacing issues are most likely down to the P/S2 adapter) and does have some backlighting but there are standard gaming style keyboards that don't make enough noise to wake the dead (if I remember correctly, cherry MX blue switches are infamous for that).

 

I would actually suggest doing some research on all the switch types before pulling the trigger as there might be a gaming mechanical keyboard that doesn't make that much noise.

cherry mx blues are loud, but you can get cherry mx silents which are, as the name implies silent. I would strongly suggest you go try out some mechanical keyboards as they are just plain better than a membrane, chiclet etc....

That is another option that isn't that cheap, isn't loud and has backlit keys (although you only have a choice of orange, white and blue).

Here is a further option that costs more and has cherry MX brown switches.
