Just a regular keyboard from the 90s. Not thin. Not light. Number pad and all. No ‘fn’ key under your pinky, and ideally no windows key either. I guess the “brown” keys from the article sound like what I would expect one of those old keyboards to feel like. I suppose it can have a caps lock indicator. But I can’t think of any reason I will ever need my entire keyboard to glow blue.

Maybe an iKBC CD108. They are pretty easy to get a hold off. No real bells or whistles. It does have a windows key (I'm not sure I've ever seen a full size keyboard without a windows key to be honesty). Your choice of Cherry switches including browns.

  Thanks. That looks pretty close. Does it at least let you disable the windows key or remap it as another Ctrl or something? Edit: One more criteria: Ships quickly to France. This one is only available on Amazon US, takes 3 weeks to get here for an extra $40.

I don't want anything to do with flashy RGB keyboards either. I did get one that has a simple white dimmable LED backlight, much like laptops with backlit keyboards. I use it occasionally in the winter time when it's dark and I just want a slight visual indicator of where the keys are. But most of the time I use a couple with no lights at all.
