Can anyone recommened a keyboard to use these on? I currently have a HHKB Pro 2, and the only mechanicals I've owned before were cheap rebrands from Newegg. I would prefer whatever the quietest switches are, since I'd want to use it at work. I'd prefer something that is tenkeyless but still has arrow keys.
I'd also like to know if wireless/bluetooth mechanicals are a thing yet..I don't think they are without mods, but maybe someone here knows of one :)
dropshipThere are a vast number of boards these keys will fit. On Massdrop alone there are three current drops at the time of writing this.
IKBC Fullsize CNC Aluminum RGB Mechanical Keyboard
Game Madman G87 TKL Backlit Mechanical Keyboard
Pok3r RGB Backlit Mechanical Keyboard
Anything that has a Cherry MX or compatible stem will work. It all comes down to what size you want, do you want it programable, do you want to build it your self or pre-built.
Some more popular ones are the Filco Magistouch 2, CoolMaster Storm Quickfire, Ducky(several versions). There are hundreds if not thousands of boards out there with various options and layouts there there are multiple types of switches.
Here are some resources to get you started, but be warned, once you head down the mechanical keyboard path, there is no turning back, and the addiction will overcome you.

dropshipI plan to build my keyboard with similar specs to what you're looking for, so I'll send you the layouts I'm considering. Tenkeyless with arrow keys come in a couple layouts: 60, 65, 84, full TKL. But what you choose depends on whether you're willing to enter other group buys and custom build your own keyboard, or if you're only looking for a pre-built to transfer the caps to.
I've entered group buys for 60% PCB with arrow keys and split spacebar + plate, the deadline to join is Feb 28.

and 65% PCB + plate +case, which is already over, but you can still buy cancelled order slots directly from the GB organizer, Jchan. He will also be selling extra sets after orders are shipped.

Theres another 65 + case GB currently running until Feb 22

Or you can check out winkeyless.kr for 84 and TKL layouts in acrylic cases.
If you're looking for bluetooth, Varmilo VB87 is TKL.
