One of the best I've tried is the N3ZN <http://www.n3znkeys.com/>. I have the ZN-5A model.
It can be adjusted to very close spacing and tension, and has very low-mass moving parts.
Not cheap at all, but really a good key. The Begalis are good, too, although also not
inexpensive.
I know it's controversial :-) but among inexpensive keys the original Bencher (not the
Hexkey) isn't all that bad if you are a light-touch guy.
