Budget of roughly $100 dollars, preferably pre built however base suggestions also appreciated. Mainly to use for gaming and school

Looking for a good tkl

What I need:
⁠1) Mixed usage work from home + gaming
2) I want to try HE keyboards but it’s seems like a lottery with quality or bad software. So don’t mind to get mechanical if can’t find good he
3) Budget up to 300$
4) size: tkl 80%
5) Not a plastic case

I will order online without warranty so I want to find durable keyboard that will serve me for a long time from a company with good qc

(Okay obviously it sucks because it’s cheap, but I was on a budget.) I bought this keyboard for 20 bucks, and it sounds nice, it works fine, but whenever I go to walk using wasd keys and turn.. I completely stop walking??? It’s like the keyboard doesn’t register me holding the key after a certain while. This happens the most when I play valorant , and it’s annoying. Is there a way I can fix this, or do I have to go back to my usual Logitech keyboard?

I wanted to ask, I was having troubles with my keyboard firmware (womier sk75 tmr), and i was wondering, is there any custom keyboard firmwares, open source firmwares, or can i code my own firmware.

having a custom firmware would solve so much of driver problems, since so many drivers are just bad when it comes to some keyboards.

Is there any open source drivers for any keyboards ? can I create my own drivers ?

I am a mid-level programmer and spend around 5–6 hours a day working on my computer. I am looking to upgrade my keyboard and would love some recommendations.

I am mainly looking for something that's comfortable for long coding sessions, reliable, and good to type on. Mechanical or non-mechanical is fine as long as it offers a good experience.

What keyboard are you using, and would you recommend it?

I spoke with so many keyboard enthusiasts, and so many of them hate Rongyuan oem's.

Rongyuan Oem's are the keyboards with the chinese white and blue themed driver everyone knows them probably, its just the drivers used in most keyboards nowadays, but why does so many people hate it ?

Is there a way to use another driver rather than a rongyuan one ?

Hello.

I'm looking for a good TKL 80% keyboard that I can buy online in Europe.
I had been using Keychron K2C1H with gateron red linear switches for about 5 years and I love the feeling and the sound but I hate the 75% layout.

I would prefer it to be white and something similiar to gateron red but maybe a little more silent. I use my keyboard wired all the time so I don't really need the wireless version.

I checked some posts about TKL keyboards here but most of you recommend the EVO 80 and unfortently it's not available to buy on any europe sites and shipping is expensive.

Maybe there are some magnetic he options? I never used one but heard they are good. I see there is Keychron Q3 HE 8k and I love how it looks but I checked some youtube videos and it's too loud for me :(

Budget 100-200 euro. I can also buy on aliexpress if there are some keyboards worth checking.

So I was curious as to what the community thinks of what I have access to use. I can't ever really decide most of the time and am really not satisfied with what I have... Maybe it's a bad combo of board+switches and I just haven't found that perfect combo. So, what I'm asking is based off of what I have, what would be considered a good/best start BEFORE discussing switches. If that makes sense? Anyway, here's what I have currently.... I think this is everything.

• Womier SK75 Pre-lubed POM Switches
• Redragon K617 HE Rapid Trigger
• EPOMAKER x Aula F75
• Razer BlackWidow V4 75%
• AULA F99
• YUNZII AL66
• YUNZII AL80
• EPOMAKER RT85
• ATTACK SHARK R85 HE
• YUNZII RT80 Rapid Trigger Hall Effect
• EPOMAKER X Aula EA75 MAX
• Rainy75

I've seen people recommend Keychron a lot, but where I live (Poland) there aren't many options from that manufacturer and most of the keyboards are from Dark Project, Razer, Redragon, Glorious, Logitech, Corsair, Genesis, A4Tech, HyperX, MCHOSE, Steelseries, Ajazz and Rampage (not sure If I missed some but that should be it). Any of these are good?

Ive currently got a Keychron V1 with kailh box reds and would like to upgrade to an aluminium keyboard. Ive seen all of the rainy75, inky75, sk75, and dont know what one to actually pick. I'd like to keep it to around $200 AUD, (around $130 usd) but if there is anything cheaper that is equally as good then thats great. I like a deep sound moreso if that helps. Thank you.

I’m looking to upgrade from my Royal kludge RK 61 that I got back in 2020 so looking for a pretty decent upgrade. I’ve been out of the keyboard game for a while.
Recently, I’ve heard Hall effect keyboards are the new thing not sure exactly what that means that’s a little too new gen for me. Anyways, I’m looking for a keyboard around $50-$100. I don’t even have a clue where the first place to look would be. Some recommendations would definitely be appreciated
I don’t really care that much about size but maybe like a 75% but again not a big deal.
