The mechanical keyboards can come with different switches that can be silent or loud. The blue and green switches are the ones that click when typing. The brown, red, black and white are all silent. The only noise from the later switches can come from the thud when you bottom out the keys (habit formed from using the typical rubber dome keyboards). The thud can also be partially silenced by getting a rubber o-ring kit to put on the keycaps.
Anyway if you still feel like getting rubber domed keyboard then logitech, roccat, and razer have nicely featured models. I would definitely get one that is backlit.
