Hey! 

Now you're probably going to think I'm out of this world whilst you read this but I really am desperate for this! I'm really picky with keyboards nowadays but I need the following things on the keyboard:

• Hot - swappable

•RGB controlled by a driver than on the keys

• Under £100 

• Preferably 65% 

• Mechanical 

• U.K Layout

There's probably nothing out there that supports what I've just written however if you put the time and effort into this it will be very much appreciated. 

Many thanks!

Check out the Keychron K6, pretty sure it hits everything on your list:

EDIT: It looks like only the aluminum frame version is hot swappable, it's a little more expensive but it's on sale right now for within your budget.

 

EDIT again: actually the K6 RGB is only controlled by the keys, which you don't want. The K8 is what you're actually looking for because the RGB can be customized with QMK software (more expensive again but I believe still just under budget):
