75%/TKL recommendation for aluminum keyboard for coding

Hello everyone, as the title says, i need help. I've been looking over youtube (Hipyo Tech & others) as well as some posts for a good 75%/80% aluminum keyboard mainly for coding (and very rarely gaming) but i need ur experiences and knowledge please. I can't do this on my own, i tried...

(I will add all the given keyboards in the comments to my post as u guys help me)

I'm looking for a keyboard on my desk at home who wont be moving anywhere:

  • Price Range = 100€ up to 250€
  • ➕ Pre-Built (Fully Assembled & lubed
  • ➕ 75%/TKL
  • ➕ Mechanical keyboard & Hot Swappable
  • ➕ Aluminum case (The heavier the better, i like heavy i dont know why but i do 😂)
  • ❓ Creamy or Thocky switches if possible, not too loud
  • ➕ VIA or QMK support (ZMK too but whatever)
  • ➕ Great spacebar stabilizers, i think its called "screw-in stabilizers", not sure
  • ➕ PBT keycaps
  • ➕ Im more Premium oriented by nature than Budget keyboard but i can do budget if it does the job and it can save me a 100 bucks or more
  • ➕ ANSI is fine for me, i dont need any weird ISO even if i am in Europe
  • ➖ Two-tone keycap set — light/white alphas, dark contrasting mods, with a colored accent kit (Esc, Spacebar, Enter, arrows)
  • ➖ Wired or Wireless dont matter at this moemtn, i just want a keyboard
  • ➖ I dont care about the Knob, i will get a media controller on the side
  • ➖ I dont care about RGB or lights, the keyboard can have it but i will be turning it off anyway
  • ❌ NO SCREEN ON THE KEYBOARD, for the love of god it's a keyboard
  • ❌ NO HIDDEN On/Off switch button hidden below the Capslock key. Who even had that stupid idea...
    • (PS: Apperently, the keyboards have a go to sleep mode so no need to turn it off at night to save battery life, i had no idea about that. Plus they last a while based on comments but i still feel its fucking stupid ergonomic idea)

I found nothing that fit all my criteria, please Help !! 😭

  • ➖ The Keychron brand comes a lot but it is not a must, im sure they are much better keyboard for a much better price
  • ✅ Evoworks Evo75 = The reviews are good and it seems great (PS: as of now, im definitly in favor of the evo75)
  • ❓YUNZII AL75 = Recommended in the comments
  • ✅ Topre Realforce R3S TKL = I had no knowledge of that, seems cool (PS: i think i might get one in teh future for the office. Sadly the wired version use lasered keys though... Might need to go with wireless)
  • ❌ Wooting 80he = Recommended in the comments and looks great but sadly i dont feel for it
  • ❓ neo75 = Recommended in the comments

I already looked at some option but they were vetoed out because of some issues:
