Not a ton of fullsize boards Keychron v6/q6  Sound is pretty subjective and a ton of factors (a YouTube video is not a accurate representation of what it sounds irl in your environment) It does not need any software to be downloaded.

I just switched from razer to keychron for a few reasons that cascaded out after my blackwidow v3 died over night. For starters, it's incredibly frustrating that the contact support option on their website opens a chat window that's just a bot filling out a warranty request form that I could have filled out faster on my own. After that it took 2 days to get an email response to the form and from the questions asked by the actual support rep, they didn't read the ticket at all making the whole exercise a grand waste of my time when I'm already frustrated with an unusable PC because their hardware just up and quit. After a few days of chasing emails with the rep, it finally came out that I was two months past the 2 year warranty window so they are not offering a replacement product but also that they no longer provide repair services for PC peripherals. There's no reason that it should have taken 4 days for a service rep in another hemisphere to tell me I was outside of warranty when the date of purchase and proof of receipt were the second and third questions asked by the chatbot less than a minute after starting the chat. I bought a Keychron V6 on sale from Amazon for $70 with a set of switches to try a setup with a heavier throw and a louder click, which I'm actually really enjoying, for another $30. With tax it was about $115 all told, a firm $15 under the MSRP for a baseline blackwidow v4 pre tax. Their RGB control, driver updates, and button programming is all handled through a webpage app rather than another proprietary bloat ware app that slows my computer and harvests my data for resale and it works on mac and linux for whichever route I choose to go when windows 10 ends support in October. tl;dr Razer has shitty customer service, requires a bloatware app, and is more expensive when compared to an entry level offering from a mid market brand like Keychron which also offers hot swap customization and user serviceability and repair It's not for everyone, but for me it's the far better option on every front

I really wouldn't recommend either of those boards. Keychron V/Q6 Max, Monsgeek M5, QK101. All available in ISO except the M5, if you needed that.

Keychron V/Q6 Max, Monsgeek M5, QK100 (wired-only PCB). You would have to get separate switches for all of these options.

Keychron Q/V6 Max, QK100/101, Monsgeek M2 V5 VIA. For the QK100, only the wired-only hotswap PCB has RGB.

IMHO a screen is another component that may spoil, so I'd recommend against getting one with a screen If you need a numpad, Keychron V6 Max is one of the best value for money. No over-the-top stuff like metal body, but comes with a good amount of bells and whistles like a volume knob, 4 extra keys you can use for macros, a browser-based software called VIA that lets you program macros and expand the functionality of your keyboard (not all keyboards have support for such software, especially at lower budgets), hotswappable switches (although most keyboards from decent enthusiast brands will have these, even at lower prices), gasket mounts, etc etc If you don't need a numpad, there's whole lot of keyboards out there that can fit across a wide variety of budgets. I ruled all these out in my research so no specific recommendations though IMHO get a keyboard not for what switches it comes with (because you can change these easily), but for the value and features you get for your money. Keychron isn't the cheapest, but they're probably one of the biggest brands out there that don't break the bank while having a lot of options - you're bound to find one that suits you
