Some mechanical keybs with low profile switches feel nice. Like a Mac keyboard, but better. Good brands have different key cap options. Here's a Keychron in white (not sure of AU availability, but gives the idea) https://www.keychron.com/collections/mechanical-keyboard/products/keychron-k5-max-qmk-v

Full size wireless keyboard

I just got a Keychron K5 Max with the brown keys that I absolutely love, its my first mechanical keyboard. I am not sure how loud is too loud but I find it acceptable. It has backlighting but not shine through, but not a big deal as I type by memory. Good luck

What's the best mechanical keyboard on the market widely loved currently?

I have a keychron k5 max with brown switches. I returned two before this one. The first one had linear switches (red ones I think) and I didn't get along with them - lots of mistake key presses as they were too sensitive. Moved to brown switches. The second one had two keys that didn't work & a coup
