Ive got a $300 keyboard right now. GMMK 3 barebones that I tossed Kailh navies in and then cerakey ceramic keycaps. It has the most glorious sound, but it definitely didnt help my performance in games, I still suck. Anything north of $100 for a keyboard is all for looks or sound for sure.

My favorites are the Logitech G815/G915 and the Glorious GMMK 3 100%. I’m currently using the Glorious.

I've got a brand new Glorious GMMK 3 barebones you can have for that. UK based, and I'll even throw in some SA keycaps 👍👍 You'll have to pay postage 👍

Glorious GMMK 3 100% is the keyboard I would buy right now if I needed a new one. Lots of customization options and they feel really premium.

Keychron Q6 Max and Glorious GMMK3. Source: Have both. I prefer the GMMK3 because the RGB's are north facing.

Just get the GMMK3 barebones and get your switches and keycaps somewhere else. You'll end up with an insanely superior keyboard that way. There's also the Keychron Q6 Max, but it doesn't come in ISO + white, have to get ANSI version + ISO PCB + ISO plate. Mind you, the main difference between these two is RGB orientation: GMMK3 is north facing and Q6 Max is south facing. I have both and while the Q6 Max is way better, I despise south facing RGB so I've been maining the GMMK3 since launch. In any case, NEVER go with the manufacturer's switches and keycaps, ALWAYS buy barebones and get better switches and keycaps.

I have all three and so far I like the 3rd one the best. It's way way heavier and the acoustics are a lot better than the other two. It only loses to the Q6 Max in my book because it's missing those 4 shortcut keys. Other than that, can't beat north facing RGB!

There's a 3rd version already? I still have an original GMMK full size which I modded and installed silent switches and some MT3 keycaps. Still use it for in the office. There's some negative opinions about GMMK but mine is still going strong. Happy shopping!

I mean realistically the most you want a keyboard to be is durable and responsive. I personally use Glorious's fullsize keyboard.

Glorious GMMK3 I had to do their "Boardsmith" option to get Hall Effect switches, but I have them *and* my numpad.
