I am looking for a mechanical keyboard if anyone has recommendations.
Specifications:
Compact layout - no numeric keypad.
Number of rows - I'm OK with a row of function keys, so ultra compact is not that necessary
US layout - this is a must. I dont know about ANSI or ISO layouts
Fancy lighting - would rather not. I dont want a gamin keyboard
Wireless - this is for home use so wired is OK. A reliable wireless connection would be cool.
Clickiness - something
precise. I dont mind a bit of noise as I work from home.
I used an IBM mechanical keyboard and a 370 terminal when I Was a graduate student, if that is any help.
I bought a mecahnical keyboard from Amazon and sent it back - they keys seemed 'wobbly' to me - ie when I placed a finger on them you could move the keycap around a bit. This is it:

My current keyboard is a Perixx:

The key action is rather good also.
