75% Barebone - Good Options?

Hello everybody,

I currently have a Royal Kludge RK L75 keyboard with some custom switches and keycaps on it. I'm looking for a replacement because the keyboard is out of warranty and the volume knob broke. Customer support couldn't do anything for me.

Honestly I'm just looking for a barebone / cheap keyboard that I can swap my switches in. Below are some requirements that I want. My absolute maximum is \~€75

* Has a 75% layout * Is hot-swappable (obviously) * Has tri-mode connection (2.4Ghz/BT/USB-C) * Has a volume knob * Supports QMK/VIA * Is gasket-mounted

Does anybody have an idea what kind of boards are good at the moment?

Thank you in advance!

Good Silent Switch

Hello everybody,

I currently have a Royal Kludge L75 keyboard with Gateron Type R switches in them and they feel awesome, but noise complaints force me to switch to a quiter keyboard (I don't exactly trust myself with modding to make it more quiet as I'm quite new).

I'd like to know if there are any good switches that have a comparable feel to the Type R (I heard that's quite difficult to achieve) while still being acceptable in an office environment for example.

So far I've looked at these:

  • TTC Silent Bluish White
  • Gazzew Boba U4 Silent
  • HMX Blue Star
  • Akko V3 Penguin
  • Wuque WS Silent

Does anybody have advice or experience with the switches above?
