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.

Keychron V6 Max, banana tactile. Brilliant keyboard, fully customisable.

Keychron V6 Max or Q6 with Outemu Silent Ice Snow (linear) or Silent Tom (tactile) switches. K10 (I have a Pro) is decent but very basic, no gasket and no knob, a simple tray mounted board. I have Outemu Silent Peach V2s in that. Edit: the quietest silent switches I tried are Outemu Ice Snow and TTC Frozen V2. Both are 40-45g linears, I replaced the springs with 60g ones. Haimu Heartbeat is incredibly loud (for a silent), so is Kailh Whale TTC Bluish and anything that uses those weird plastic bits on the stem instead of silicone pad inserts.

Tray mount basic board. Get a V6 Max instead with gasket mount and knob.

V6 Max, rather. But only from Amazon or local shop, never order it directly from Keychron.

My condolences. BTW, K10 Max vs V6 Max: the latter has knob and gasket mount. Otherwise they are pretty much the same, I think.

I prefer it, makes bottom-out softer. Like a car's suspension.

Well... Keychron has many 100% and 96% (1800?) boards but their quality is not all that great with the Max models. If you buy Keychron, buy it from Amazon / local seller, not directly from Keychron because their warranty policy is lacking. V5/6 Max might work (gasket mount), or K10 Max (tray mount), perhaps J5. Q5/6 Max is over the budget. I have a V6 Max and no issues but I don't use it much (having multiple Q boards).

Of these? The Keychron. I have a 3098B Plus and it's a decent travel board (3-mode wireless) but at home I'm using 100% boards, like V6 Max, Q6 etc.

Keychrons with the Gateron Jupiter Banana are awesome. You can theoretically get the Bananas separately from Gateron, whenever it's on stock.

Recently moved to Keychron V6 Max (had Logitech G810 which I loved, but after 10-ish years, its started to double press). Been a couple months and pretty have so far with it and had no issues :D

I'd avoid Keychron after their PCB issues which affected my V6 max and their abysmal customer support that both doesn't stock replacement keycaps and won't RMA my keyboard that's broken due to a manufacturing defect https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.techpowerup.com/339280/keychron-explains-recent-q-max-and-v-max-issues-apparent-manufacturing-defects-caused-loose-switches%3famp
