Recommend keyboards?

[Noam123]

So I bought a switch tester and chose my favorite switch which is the kalih box black (though the red good as well) 

So can anyone recommend a good keyboard with preferably black but red is accepted as well switches

My budget is 100$-120$ (if there is anything lower it's better)

Alright, here are a few options for your keyboard switches:

Royal Kludge RK100 / RK100S — sometimes offered with Kailh Box Black in certain SKUs or regionals; regular price often ~$60–$90 depending on layout.

Epomaker TH96 / EP96 full‑size variants — Epomaker occasionally lists Kailh Box options; prices vary but entry models can be ≲$100 on sale.

Akko 3108/3098/3094 full‑size boards — Akko sometimes ships Kailh variants (less common than Akko switches); watch sales.

Redragon K582/K556 Pro (full‑size K556) — some special SKUs ship with Kailh Box switches; mostly Outemu by default but limited Box variants exist.

Tecware / Motospeed OEM full‑size hot‑swap boards — often hot‑swap and compatible with Box Blacks; buy the board new and add Box Blacks.

I searched for all of them but I couldn't find anyone of them with kailh switches (I searched mainly in aliexpress and Amazon) 

My problem is that I want it kailh black (maybe red as well) wireless either 96% or 75% and with cherry English and Hebrew keycaps

Buying keycaps can cost me 30-35$ and switches is 30$ as well if I buy them separately then I need a decent keyboard

Easiest way to get what you want and not having to compromise too much is to build it yourself from a kit. It is not that hard, about as difficult as assembling a lego set. 

You can buy a barebones kit, or maybe even a fully assembled keyboard as long as it has hotswap sockets, and then just exchange the switches for the Kailh box black and put on your keycaps. 

Keychron has the V series, RK has a ton of options that are hotswap capable.

a switch tester

What switch tester was it? I understand that the Kailh Black box is a pretty unique switch. 60g with 1.3mm pre-travel is an interesting combination. A short pre-travel is a great feeling(Gateron Mars here), but a heavy activation force may become tiring for long sessions. Also, KBBs are relatively expensive, and most likely, you won't find them in a keyboard that fits your budget.

My advice would be not to jump the gun and to get a cheap kit, like a GMK67 or something from Ajjazz(they have a variety of switches in stock), and to try different switches. Like, get 50-70 Kailh blacks but do throw in tenners from MMD(PrincessV4 are amazing for a starter), or Akko's Piano V3 Pro, which also gets high praise. Or any other popular switches. As a bonus, you'll get to mess with case modding and sound profiles.

Committing to a full stop as your first keyb for the next few years is a solid choice, but also one that may leave you longing for something different later.

And for some unique ones, as G adept, - Mars/Weightless, Azure Dragon V4, and Beer. They do cost a premium, but they are actually a fun experience. Consider throwing a switch or two in future shopping.
