Keyboard recommendation

im looking to buy a new keyboard for gaming. I have a few requirements and having a hard time finding a suitable one

I want to find one that:

Is no bigger than say the Steelseries 6gv2 (7g is too big for my desk)
Switch: mechanical - not too sure about switch types, Im looking for something that is quite clicky and allows for easy double tapping
No LED backlights
Audio passthrough (headphones and mic) -- important
short wrist rest would be preferred but not required
large backspace and large enter keys

any suggestions?
 
Filco Majestouch, Tenkeyless ... get one with the Black MX switches or the Red. The black switch takes about 12 nickels stack up before it registers, the Red takes less.
 
What's wrong with the 6Gv2? (edit: I guess lack of audio passthrough?) Also, the 7G is the same size if you don't use the wrist rest.
 
ima buy a Steelseries 6gv2 for fun, always used g15's and g19 in past but would be cool to click alot when i type sometimes =)
 
Doesn't have audio passthrough, but I second a Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless.

This is actually the first I have heard of Cherry Reds. I'd hop on geekhack to check it out, but am I correct in assuming its basically just a linear type black with less force required?

Gave in an checked into geekhack. Reds have the same force curve as blacks, just with less force.
