Looking for a new keyboard and am a bit lost, any sugguestions?

[Pulpypanda]

So as stated in the title, I am in the market for a new keyboard. My daily driver is a full sized_? (has a 10 key) corsair strafe V1 with cherry MX blues, which I have been using for the last 7ish years and have thoroughly enjoyed. However it is starting to show its age at this point and I think its time i give something else a try. With that said i was hoping for some advice/recommendations for another fullsized keyboard with similar features and feel (other switch types that are similar to cherry mx blues). I understand that there is a newer version of this keyboard with cherry mx reds, but having tried it, I found I really enjoy the tactile feel and noise of the Blue switches. Additionally any key cap sets you could recommend feel free to add, price range can be up to ~$250.

 

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated,

Budgets get wildly variable with keyboards.  Even 20 years ago they generally went for between $8 and $300. Today it’s an even bigger range.  Iirc there were solid gold key apps around.  Need to know at least vaguely what the budget is.

anything up to or around ~$250 would be where I call it. I updated my post to put a price limit in there.

Around 250? You could probably build a custom one to your liking with that budget.
