I feel like its depends on what kind of keyboard you find most comfortable. I personally love my k95 xt platinum, but I personally love having a full size keyboard

I've been hunting through subreddits for gaming keyboard recommendations for a few days now and I'm not finding ones that match my needs. Everyone seems to be obsessed with miniature and minimalist keyboards, but I absolutely hate those. I need a full size keyboard with a full number pad and preferably some macro keys. I've had a Corsair K95 with MX Brown switches for around 10 years, I love it but it's starting to break down on me and I really want something more modern. The K100 is too expensive.. I've seen Keychron recommended a lot but I personally find them to be really ugly. I see Reddragon a lot too, but some of their other products I've used felt cheaply built in the past. I'm currently eyeing the Wooting Two HE, it's at the top of my budget but I like how it looks and it has the keypad. I'm willing to sacrifice the macro keys but I'm worried that the (seemingly) insanely impressive performance might be counterintuitive for me. I'm a gamer who works from home so I'm on my computer 10-16 hours a day, but I don't play competitive games at all. Does the performance of Wooting keyboards end up being too quirky for users who don't game competitively, and if so, is there a better option out there for someone like me?

So I bought the Wooting Two HE, and I'm instantly feeling like I don't like it. The keys are really heavy and mushy, and not tactile at all. It could be something that I'll get used to over time but the heaviness of the keys worries me. They take significantly more force to press than my Corsair keyboard and I already suffer from finger strain especially in my pinky fingers. I'll give it a week or two to see if it grows on me but the lack of tactile-ness is giving me the bad brain feelings. Also the wrist rest accessory not only functionally useless it's uncomfortable too.

Same. Just replaced the worn keys, but works great still.

300$ for a high end keyboard is not that much as you think. I've had 95 plat and now k100 optix and not a single issue. 2021.09.16 (MM/DD) and still going strong. Switched the keycaps to pudding ones for more rgb.

Try the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum It has customizable backlighting, a full-sized layout, and nice media controls with a volume wheel. Another one to check out is the Logitech G Pro X. It's good for gaming and typing. Both feel high-end and should work for you. you could also check keyboardyeti for more comparisons and details.

Corsair k95 platinum RGB works well for me. Order it with the cherry switch type you want.

Honestly it's extremely personal preference. Some people enjoy clicky or heavy actuation force switches, some people prefer linears, some people like muffled ones. I think you just need to test them yourself. Personally after being around the block and starting with clicky and moving to linear, I prefer linear switches with low actuation force. It's easier to search for the switches you like and then find boards that fit the criteria. Personally I was using a clicky Razer board originally and moved to a Cherry MX Speed Silver Corsair K95 (which has since been depreciated for the K100 apparently) and then I splurged for a Kailh Choc Pro Red ZSA Voyager, which is much more unconventional compared to the other two. I do lots of both gaming and typing and find I enjoy the same feel for both (lighter touches, less clicky).
