Kinesis mWave Mechanical Keyboard.

The Kinesis mWave gives you a tented Alice-style ergonomic layout like my top pick, but with mechanical keys, a tenkeyless design, and programmable layers—plus it’s about $30 cheaper. The newer model also fixes the noise and cable issues, with quieter switch options and a longer USB-C cable in the box.

Pros

+Comfortable unibody tented Alice split design with an easy learning curve
+Mechanical keys plus programmable layers and remappable keys
+Tenkeyless layout brings the mouse closer for right-handed users
+Newer model offers quieter switches and a longer USB-C cable

Cons

-Programming software isn’t the simplest and you may rely on layers
-Not many extra/blank keys for heavy modding
-Older tactile version could sound loud and hollow in a quiet office
