Looking for a keyboard with feeling like Logitech dinovo edge

Short description: title says it all.

Long description: I am very much into mechs (currently I'm at 5 boards). However for work in a crowded office the ones that feel real good are a no no, because of the noise which is majestic to me, but not to others (those weird people who don't have a mech fetish). I've managed to score an used (but excellent condition) Logitech dinovo edge a while back. It's very much beautiful (I use it as a decoration for my room), the typing feeling is also very much awesome (considering it's a membrane board). Now I'm looking for a similar feeling board, any suggestions? It must be full size in ISO layout, with good feeling scissor switches.

p.s. writing this on a cherry g84-5200, for some reason I like it very much.

While it doesn't answer your question, I can only encourage you to trying Kailh brown switches in the office. I've been using a TKL board with these for half a year in a quiet open space office and nobody ever complained about the noise. They hear me typing but I do hear their Dell chicklets or rubber dome HPs as well.

Btw. that Logitech diNovo Edge looks nice. Although it's also a reminder of times when Windows ruled.

The switches in the DiNovo Edge were a bit special: smooth tactile scissors switches with a key travel of a 3.2 mm.
They were found in the DiNovo, DiNovo Edge, DiNovo Desktop and the Illuminated K740 original Logitech "Illuminated Keyboard" — all long discontinued. I have not seen anything like it since, unfortunately.
The keyboards were also nice in that the keys had a proper profile (this was before chiclets became the norm) and that the keys on the bottom row were convex.

Logitech branded the switches "PerfectStroke", but later they reused the brand for much lesser switches, so don't be fooled by that!

Oh boy! I actually have a worthwhile opinion on this one!

I’ve used a K800 with Perfect Stroke for years and, if there were a TKL version then I’d probably never have discovered mechanical keyboards. The new MX Keys Mini is maybe sort of close, but not as “bouncy.” The K800 is what I imagine Topre ought to feel like.

For MX-style switches, the closest thing I’ve found have been heavy tactiles like Glorious Pandas. The GPs are more snappy than bouncy, but closer than anything else I’ve tried. Browns are a pale shadow of Perfect Stroke.

If you want something as bouncy, get a Model M if you can stand the noise.

That said…if you want a full-sized keyboard, just get a K800.

The Logitech K740 is still being made. I have one at work that I pull out if I need to take my mechanical one home, and it's a wonderful keyboard. It's easily one of the best scissor switch keyboards ever made. My personal favorite was the DiNovo Keyboard for Notebooks, but it was pretty unreliable.

I'm sorry, I was mistaken and thought the K740 was the original Illuminated Keyboard, but it is not.
Apparently it is a cost-reduced variant that does not contain original PerfectStroke key switches. The switches could have a little more key travel than typical for scissors though. (according to some reviews, but it is unclear what they use as reference)
