Aiglatson Studio - Vella Performance Edition

For a premium 60 look at the Vella with the Geon Venom PCB

You can also give Aiglatson Studio's Vella Performance Edition a shot as well! They are available in-stock from several vendors atm. I got mine from Bowl Keyboards! Personally for me the Vella looks really nice and doesn't attract much attention in a professional environment. I bring mine to the office twice a week. If you don't fancy the CF accents of the Vella, you can get Geon Venom 60 HE hotswap PCBs and pair them with a compatible case of your choice.

if you have $400 can you build it or does it need to be prebuilt? if you can do custom then the aiglatson studio vella PE which includes a venom60he would be your best bet, or a venom87he with a frog tkl or something. Definitely don't get a wooting at this budget, current switches are pretty low quality, as are the cases and keycaps for what you should be getting for the price you're paying. PCBs perform fine and are reliable but that isn't unique to wooting. For prebuilts, i'd look at the chilkey slice68/75he and rakka80edge

Wooting's pretty overpriced and not really worth it. You can get equivalent quality for far less, and much higher quality for the same price. If you're down to build and have 300 USD, aiglatson studio vella performance edition ships with a venom60he and is a way better case than the optimum x wooting. I wouldn't recommend tikkens unless you specifically want 4mm travel. Optimum keycap set is also pretty overpriced unless you just really like how they look.
