AKKO - 5075B Plus

There are far better alternatives than Glorious. This is coming from someone who's first build was a GMMK Pro, the first version of this keyboard. I had to purchase a seperate flex kit from them and finish it off with new stabs in order to make it sound and feel relatively decent. Despite buying the board AFTER the overlubing issues were fixed, I still got one with insanely sticky stabs. I just replaced them with durock V3 stabs but I had to file down the polycarbonate plate to get them to fit. The overall build was over 300 dollars, including the price of the top frame, flex kit, new stabs, and new switches and caps. Compare this to a several other keyboards I bought for way less and sounded and felt much better out the gate. I have a GK Gamakay SN75, Akko 5075B, and Batknight BK75, and all of them sound and felt better for the price they were at. And the best part is they came complete at less than 100-110 usd. The gmmk barebones I bought was 134 usd and didn't have switches or caps. Don't buy from these gaming companies unless value for money is truly just not a concern.

I bought an AKKO 5075B and it’s been lovely. The stock switches I have come to find are not great quality, so I picked up some new switch and now it feels just right. Plus it’s quite easy to sound mod if you’re up for that. Hot-swappable board and does WiFi, USB and Bluetooth. The software is usable if you need to remap keys. It also comes with a few additional key caps (I swapped the home button for the screen shot button key cap and remapped it).

Any hotswap keyboard should be fine, what you want to look for is silent linear switches. I'm currently using an Akko 5075B board, their Fairy switches, and some rubber o-rings on each key and it's about as silent as a keyboard can be. EDIT: Here's a little quick and dirty sound test, don't have my mic hooked up atm so excuse the not great phone audio. [https://youtu.be/irjFMlPQ9TU](https://youtu.be/irjFMlPQ9TU)

Just find any keyboard with rapid trigger switches. You can easily feel better responsivness in games with a lot of movement like ffxiv. I have and recommend Drunkdeer a75 but now there should be a lot of cheap options now. Probably any cheap chinese keyboard with rapid trigger from aliexpress would be good. I got akko 5075b plus on aliexpress and it's very good although it's not rapid trigger keyboard.

I don't recommend Logitech mouse, I had 2 and both got double-click issue exactly after a year. I'm currently using Pulsar x2a and Akko 5075b for kb.

You can get a Leobog Hi75C kit for around 35 USD, depending on your location and seller. That leaves room in your budget for switches and keycaps. If you're looking for prebuilts, check out the Elecfox INKY75 (no knob) or the Furycube F75S (with knob). For a cheaper option with a plastic case, the Akko 5075B Plus is worth considering. Most of these come with keycaps included, and their RGB is often better than what you’d find on most aluminum boards, if that’s something you care about. Then you also have Aula F75 as others have already said.
