What keeb should I get (more info below)

[P4Spartan i360]

So r/mechanicalkeyboards is of almost no help, and I was wondering what keyboard I should get. I currently have a Razer Blackwidow Lite (which is starting to become less optimal as time goes on) and I was wondering what keyboards you all would recommend (mainly looking for pre-builts but customs are fine too)

Sorry if this question is dumb

And thank you in advance :)

Budget?

Like what @mr fobs said, whats the budget.
But also as important, what do you want and/or expect from a keyboard.
Do you want RGB, mechanical keys, media buttons etc.

Epomaker makes good keyboards for under $100. Their software for RGB control is janky, but the keyboard is awesome. Also Glorious PC gaming race makes a the GMMK

I'm mainly looking for your standard mechanical keeb fare with quieter switches and a more compact style (mainly like a 75% or a TKL), I can't really explain it lol

Well the Epomkaer S96K has a variety of switches to choose from. If you want quiet, reds and browns switches are the way to go. There are other switches, but i am not familiar enough with them (like blacks, silvers, yellows.)

The GMMK comes with browns by default, which in my opinion are the best, but I think you can customize.

 

I have two s96Ks and they are amazing, but they took like 3 weeks to ship. I like the overall feel of them, plus they are affordable and have hot swappable switches.

although one more question, do you have any other recommendations for keyboards in my criteria that could also be good? if not then that is completely fine!

Well the GMMK comes in different sizes and Epomaker has a bunch of different models and sizes. Those are the 2 brands I know of that are in your price range that aren't bunz.
