Logitech K120, the updated version of their older low-profile keyboard with a cost around $10 - $13. This thing has been going for over 8 years and although some paint from the keys are missing and indents are appearing, the board works very well and is cheap as ♥♥♥♥.

For a much more expensive option, I use the Alienware AW920K Tri-Mode Wireless Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard which retails for around $250 but I got it for $60 during Alienware Arena's free Dell points giveaways last year which brought the price down much lower but for a wireless keyboard (both BT and WI-FI with a wired option), this thing is very responsive although very expensive.

If you ask me which keyboard I like between the Logitech K120 and Alienware AW920K, I will say the Logitech K120.

Quiet, low profile mechanical keyboards are a thing, you know.

The banana switches would probably suit you well.

maybe stop smashing your keyboards? That might be an option.

Does this thing really say, "Dishwasher-safe?" Now that's a selling point to all those people that use their keyboards as dinner plates.

They make stainless steel keyboards that are "rage-proof" but highly expensive.

I should've mentioned it needs to be wireless. I'm trying to get rid of all wires. I'm planning to switch to MAC too once I retire from gaming.

Anything but Razer.

I use a Logitech 915TKL, no complaints, it's low profile and mechanical but not clicky and is wireless (Lightspeed).

Perhaps something that replaces digital movement controls with analog controls? Because when pressing buttons, you can't move very slowly or at varying speeds. There is opportunity for improvement there.

I can't recommend anything, because it needs to be developed first.

Lol. You had me for a second, there.

I like Leopold a lot. VERY solid keyboard.
FC900 is the full-sized, but there are a lot of smaller sizes such as the FC750.

They are mechanical but are switches called "SIlent Reds" that are very very very quiet. I think there are other quiet switches out there as well.

What like hall effect gaming keyboards?

I don't know exactly. I haven't tried it. It looks like there is an option to press the key halfway instead of all the way down. (pressure-sensitive)

But I'm not sure how to technically implement this idea so that it would be as convenient as using a regular keyboard, but with the ability to move at different speeds. Just like it is possible with a joystick.

Many games already allow the simultaneous use of a joystick, gamepad, and mouse.

How about adding a "trackplate" underneath the keyboard? The entire keyboard surface would be built on top of the trackplate and connected to it.
This way, you could press the buttons as usual to move sideways, forwards, and backwards, but you could also move the trackplate by sliding the entire keyboard surface in a specific direction.

I say "trackplate" because I don't have the English word for it. But it's like a plate that you can easily slide across a surface, and it tracks your movement much like a mouse. And when you release it, it returns to its original position through elasticity or magnetism. Just like a joystick, which returns to its base position when you release it.
