I'm using a Logitech G910. It's mechanical, although not a high end model among the mechanical keyboards world, but it has 6 keys you can attatch commands to, or simply remap.
For my job, I use Screenshot, Undo, Cut, Copy and Paste, so I still have some spare customizable kyes.
Also, the keyboard support 3 profiles. They're not on-board profiles (so you have to set them up via the Logitech Gaming Software), but you can switch between them with physical keys.

Having spare customizable keys are nice. Although I never really used any of that before. Could help me become more productive.

Any of what? mechanical keyboard insight?
If nice backlight colors or programmable keys aren't your thing, then have a look at wasdkeyboards.com they're rather expensive, but given the fact that you basically get to decide the color of every single keycap and the keyboard distribution, then it's probably worth it.
You also have several mechanical switch options and keyboard sizes.
