I currently have a Black Widow Ultimate that I am not happy with due to repeated issues with the space bar. It was effectively free due to winning a raffle for a Best Buy card.

Now I need something more durable for both gaming and general use (mostly gaming). I have found that I don't care for the clicky noise, so blue switches are out. I don't need tons of features (touch screens) but I need something that isn't going to wear out in 2 years.

Also, my desk space is limited so anything much wider than 20" is out.

I am looking at the Deck Legend and the Ducky Shine 3. Anything else I should be looking at? Durability, construction quality, and comfort are the key factor for me.

Thanks
 
CM Storm Quickfire: Rapid, Stealth, XT. Skip the other models.
Those three are built by Costar (also makes Filco's Majestouch models) with metal mounting plates and available in a variety of switches.
 
In line with the Ducky Shine 3, you could look at KÛL (if you don't mind TKL) and FILCO. These are solid, well built keyboards.

Cooler Master makes products with a good quality/price ratio but since durability is one of your concerns, know that some of their chassis use a soft-touch finish which by nature is less durable that a solid material; something you might want to take into account.
 
I recently picked up a CM Storm QF Stealth (10-keyless) and have been very pleased with it.
