@lookitmychicken i'd rec the aluminium frame Keychron K4 or K10. they're USB-C and you can use them wired or wireless, which also means you can switch between two different machines pretty quick. I've got a K4 as my work keyboard, it's got a great feel without weighing a ton.
re: the feeling of typing on them, a lot of that's about the switch - the 3 most common ones are blue (clicky) brown (tactile) and red (linear). there's some other colours, but they're less common and are variations on those three, being all clicky, tactile or linear theme.
'clicky' is a loud tactile switch, they're the closest to the old school keyboards from the 80s/90s. 'tactile' are similar but less loud, and you don't have to push the keys quite as hard. they both have a sort of 'bump' as you press down the key that tells you it's registered. linear are the quietest, lightest touch & don't have that bump feedback.
