Most modern boards aren't very good. I recommend you save up more and build your own, or get a super cheap kit like an iGK61 and throw in some Kailh BOX.

Most boards you can find at a Best Buy or something use the cheapest keycaps possible, use Cherry MX switches which are scratchy and very overrated, aren't built very well, and cost way more than they actually cost to make.

If you get a hotswap PCB you don't even have to solder, and then you can get a much larger variety in switches and keycaps. As stated above, those are the two things that pre-built boards (from big brands like Corsair or whatever) tend to cheap out on.

You might look into the kemove rk61 shadow or snow fox. It is built really well for the price, is wired and bluetooth. Hotswappable, although I'm still using the gateron browns it came with. More rgb settings than any human really needs. It also has a very tolerable thick set of PBT keycaps, with the only complaint being the secondary functions are etched in a hard to read color. The stabilizers also come pre lubed and fit fairly well.

 

Software is kind of not great, but I will likely only use it once or twice to change a few settings.

 

I'm pretty happy with it.
