What keyboard form factor are you interested in or more familiar with, and are you interested in customizing your keyboard?

• Keychron's an easy pick for custom keeb enthusiasts, assuming that people can find it in stock (either from Keychron's site or on Amazon).
  • If you've no need for the numpad, then the Keychron C1's a fair option.
  • If you'd like the conventional full-sized layout with the numpad, then consider the Keychron C2.
  • If you've like the full-sized layout with the numpad, but would like to same some desk space, consider the Keychron K4.
  • Whether you should pick the hot-swappable variant or not depends on whether you're interested in swapping the keyboard's switches out in the future.
• Corsair K68 would be appealing for people already invested in the Corsair ecosystem (synced RGB?), or those that need extra features on their keeb within easy reach (e.g. media controls). Customizability with aftermarket parts will be quite limited (especially full keycap sets), however.

my choice would be one of the keychron with hotswap ... cause hotswap ...
