Non-mechanical keyboard recommendation?

I have tried several mechanical keyboards and plain don't like them. I currently have a Corsair Strafe RGB with the Cherry MX "silent" switches. they are far from silent.

I find myself going back to my many year old Saitek Eclipse. What is a good rubber-dome keyboard with some gaming features such as anti-ghosting? I would rather not have the extra size that macro keys and additional function keys add as well.

Thanks for any input.
 
logitech does a few membrane-switch gaming keyboards, but i believe they are all full of various "feature" buttons; which is how they manage to call it "gaming".

maybe consider topre switches? they are often called a better version of the membrane switch.

Pretty much every mechanical switch in existence will be louder to a rubber dome, this is just a fact.
 
Just unboxed this one today to replace my own Saitek Eclipse and am very happy with it so far:

I bought at $55, the $60 it's at now is still a good deal. I remember typing on mechanical keyboards when that's just what keyboards were. No interest in going back to them.

Edit: The size of the Roccat isn't much bigger than the Eclipse with the palm wrest attached. Overall width is roughly he same because of the big corners on the Eclipse.
