Keyboard Suggestions

Alright lads, I'm looking for a cheap(ish) mechanical keyboard with preferably mx reds(quieter than other keys) for the front desk at my business.

I currently have a CM storm, but I'd like something a bit more professional or clean looking and possibly rgb or white leds to match the aesthetic of the place. 10 key-less is fine due to space limitations, but not a requirement.

 

The only keyboards I can find seem to have gaming, logos, and all manner of distasteful tackiness about them, or are priced well over $100, which is just a bit too much for such a menial change in appearance over what I use now. Any suggestions welcome, I'm flat out of ideas.

The Coolermaster Masterkeys Pro S does the job quite well for me. TKL, white or RGB versions (RGB is well over 100 USD though), not really gamer-y aesthetic otherwise (only logos it has on the front are on the Windows keys and just their stand CoolerMaster logo).

Otherwise I can recommend it. I have the RGB version with brows and am quite happy with it. Only complaint I have, is that it has a left angle connector on the USB plug (on the keyboard side) and I have to run the cable to the right.. Otherwise it's a high quality cable anyways :)
