Mechanical vs. Non-Mechanical for gaming?

[echrisinger]

So, I originally wanted a Razer BlackWidow keyboard (mechanical), since it's a really good gaming Keyboard apparently. However, it came to my attention that it's super loud, and I may have to be typing stuff late at night, so I don't want my family hearing. I'd really like a mechanical keyboard, but it MUST be silent. If that's not a possibility, what other gaming keyboards are good options that are non-mechanical, that are <$100 preferably (although you can go a bit over if you must)?

Also, sorry for making two separate threads, I couldn't re-title the other so I just made a second.

I enjoy my Logitec G19. It has a few nice goodies like an in game info screen, programmable macro keys and an infinite number of colors for the keyboard. You can put whatever RSS feed on the screen you want.

I'm thinking I'll go w/ the Razer Lycosa. I need something moderately priced, it has all the features I want, is rated well, and of COURSE, it matches my mouse ^.^ (yeahhhhhhhhh)
