I'm no keyboard enthusiast, only had 1, so I haven't really felt what's out there.
My keyboard recently broke, so I bought a "wooting". I had never heard of this brand, but I bought it since it's the only one I saw that fit all the criteria:
The silent keys part were a disappointment, it is way louder than the previous one (had cherry MX silent keys). However, the rest is pretty nice.
It has detachable USB cable. You can choose if the cable exits from left, right or center. And the feel is pretty good.
I don't care about the analog keys. And I guess this is part of the reason of it being kinda pricey.
The wrist rest I like, even though you have to buy it separately, it feels good and is silicone. So not too hard, and it doesn't change shape under the weight of the wrist. I wish it could be physically attached to the keyboard though.
It seems to be a European brand too, which is a big plus.
Anyone else got a keyboard from this brand?
EDIT: I almost forgot. It comes with some extra key switches. And I believe they are solderless-swappable. Which is kinda nice, since the last keyboard I had to replace just because of 2-3 broken keys.
Did you try O-rings? They dampen the sound of the keycap hitting the base of the keyboard.

Maybe it won't matter with those switches, but they also helped with the switch actuation of my MX Blues. I noticed some high-pitch sound from the springs, and that also got dampened.
