Finding a Keyboard Help

i am looking for a new keyboard, i have done some looking and have got myself more confused than when i started.

things i am looking for:

  •   Tenkeyless
  • Cherry mx Brown (red will also do but prefer Brown)
  • ''Basic looking''
  • Well Built Low Flex
  • Lots of macro keys (on board storage for them)
  • a removable USB cable would be awesome.

not bothered about RGB tbh so not having it is not a deal breaker,

hopefully some one can point me in the right direction :)

My Masterkeys Pro S would fit all those requirements. No dedicated macro buttons, but you can program them on the keyboard and it will retain them across computers.

It has a removable micro USB cable.

Tenkeyless and Lots of macro keys (on board storage for them)

are opposite to each other, so your options are limited.

 

One thing that sort of fits the bill is ROG Claymore (https://www.asus.com/us/Keyboards-Mice/ROG-Claymore/) wher you can use numpad as macro, but it is VERY expensive at over $200.

Probably more reasonable option would be to find normal tenkeyless board and dedicated macro board.
