I have the OG model M from 1993 or so, the Unicomp Model M, and a Model F keyboard from modelfkeyboards.com.
Of the 3 my favorite is the New Model F. It has a satisfying ping-y The Model M is good too, but the cable is fraying and I'm afraid to use it and accelerate its demise. Probably I can send it to someone for fixing or fix it myself somehow but haven't gotten around to it.
Nothing is wrong with the Unicomp technically but it is my least used... not sure why.
If your complaint about mechanical keyboards is that they are loud, be prepared that the buckling spring keyboards are several times louder than anything Cherry-like.
On the other end of the spectrum I have a Realforce R2 PFU edition. It has silenced topre switches which are sort of a fancy rubber dome. This is the keyboard I use 90% of the time and for this comment.
