keychron c3 pro hotswap version if you are fine with wired only keychron v3 max if you absolutely need trimode 2.4g dongle/Bluetooth and wired
Look at keychron keyboards they are really good quality and I think they are on sale rn
There's ton of layout and depends on how many keys you wanted but mine is keychron v3 max it's worth the price
I'd get a Keychron V3. It's TKL, has limited RGB, the stock keycaps aren't terrible and it's hotswapable, so the switches can be changed to your liking. The reason I don't use mine as a primary driver is because it doesn't work with my iPad. I bought mine for cheaper without switches and keycaps. It's also got QMK, so you can program the keys to anything. It you want to play with the Dvorak keymap, you can reprogram it to that.
I enjoy my Epomaker x Aula F108 (not the size you're looking for I know), but I'll admit I like my Keychron V3 Max more. I think it was worth the slight bump in price for the Keychron if they're available in your area.
Pour avoir acheté ce weekend un nouveau clavier et avoir regardé un peu partout ce qu'il se faisait : NON ! Ce que tu cherches n'existe pas actuellement, donc il te reste deux possibilités : * Réduire tes exigences : il y a de très bons claviers méca dans ton budget, et même certains que tu pourras upgrade avec des switch HE plus tard. Par exemple le [Keychron V3 Max](https://keychron.fr/fr/products/keychron-v3-max-qmk-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard-iso-layout-collection?variant=40035986571393) (120€, switch méca Gateron Red, AZERTY). * Attendre encore un peu pour économiser et atteindre le budget suffisant pour acheter le clavier que tu souhaites.
I bought a Q3 Max with red switches and it was very silent. Be aware, Keychron HE keeb is compatible only with its own HE switches. For me it was a no-go.
The first thing you'll probably want to decide on is if you need ISO-UK layout (with the big enter key), or the ANSI American layout. If you are fine with an ANSI layout, you definitely have more options. As for gaming, that really depends. If you are really into competitive PvP games, than you might be more interested in something with HE switches. These are magnetic switches instead of mechanical. Personally, I prefer regular mechanical switches. But HE switches are definitely more gaming focused. If you are fine with mechanical switches you might want to check out something like the Evo80. You can get in either ANSI or ISO layout and is generally a really well regarded keyboard. Mechmods has both layout options for sale ([ANSI](https://www.mechmods.co.uk/collections/keyboards/products/evoworks-evo80-keyboard-ansi-layout?variant=46286231699679) and [ISO](https://www.mechmods.co.uk/collections/keyboards/products/evoworks-evo80-keyboard-iso-layout?variant=54937039307130)). I also believe it works both wireless and wired. There are other options out there though, so it really depends on what you are looking for. Like if you really want RGB options, you might want to look at a Nuphy Gem80. But that only has ANSI layouts and I think they are currently sold out of there usually included switches and keycaps. Keychron is also generally well regarded. For the TKL layout there is the Q3 Max. But they have a few different options, including HE keyboards. So you might want to browse their options.
understanding you a bit better, honestly wouldn’t touch the primarily gaming brands, i’ve had quite a few logitechs in my time and nothing compares to the keychron q1 i’ve had for like six months and i’ll never look at big brand “gaming keyboards” again. a Keychron Q3 Max specifically has the same % keyboard as your steelseries and it’s a large sum cheaper considering you can customise things like switch types. hope this helps
