Mechanical keyboard bro/sis, welcome to the future — seconding Leopold (mine have mx silent red switches)

Logitech Craft is pretty good

Mechanical keyboard with quality switches (Cherry MX is generally best).

Why is mechanical better? Does it just mean high quality / durability?

yes and yes, there are many types of mechanical switches (with leads to some pretty neat customization options). Many of the switches have a tactile or audible bump where the switch actuates, so it's easier to tell when the key has actually been pressed. Most switches are also rated to last much longer than rubber dome or chiclet boards.

First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
