MonsGeek - M1W V3 HE Fully Assembled Gaming Keyboard

Best if you get a barebones keyboard and build it with the switches and keycaps you want. I would reccoment something like the Monsgeek m1 v3 or the Lemokey p1 pro. For silent switches I guess would be akko fairy or penguin silent. For keycaps choose whatever you think is best. You can always get a pre built keyboard but I always find making one yourself is also better. Plus I think you husband would appreciate this more. :)

keychron v1/v3 max, leobog hi75, akko 5075s. My top recommendation would be monsgeek m1w v3 in that price range

Same as v3 mostly

I’ve got the wooting 80HE with ghost case and it sounds soo much thockier than the 60HE. I’ve also got a monsgeek M1W-HE with Akko cream yellow and it’s pretty darn thocky (for my admittedly basic ears). The wooting software is superior if you’re a hardcore gamer though….

Aula F99. It's a full sized custom keyboard with tri-mode connectivity, feels and sounds miles better than these. And these Razer keyboards are okay but feel awful imo. These Razer/Asus/Logitech keyboards are okay but you pay for the brand. I had Razer, Logitec, Corsair for years, after trying a "custom" keyboard I'm neeever going back. Or you can get a Hall Effect keyboard which are mostly for gamers. Wooting 80HE, Zoom75 HE (Very premium), Monsgeek M1W V3 HE, Keycron Q1 HE. Etc. I have a list on my profile, but haven't updated it recently

Take a look at the Wooting 80He, Monsgeek M1W HE, Akko year of the dragon HE or Yunzii RT80. Personally I would never buy another Razer keyboard again, their build quality is lacking for the premium you pay and they're non hotswap boards meaning if a switch stops working he can't replace it with an identical one. Edit: all are sub 200 except for tge Wooting with a metal case, plastic one is sub 200. My go to would be the Monsgeek M1W HE.

There are many many good options. Tbh, for what you want, something like an Aula F75 or Ajazz AK820 Pro is probably going to work just fine. If you want a nice aluminum case though and really high-quality stock switches and keycaps, I would recommend the Monsgeek M1W V3 or M1 V5.

Those are all from gaming or mainstream office equipment companies and they tend to produce overpriced boards because they're not run by keyboard fans. TBH I don't know what Glorious damage is, but I regretted everything I bought from them. Even Microcenter does better (Inland is their house brand). 80%: Zouya GMK87, Monsgeek M3 v3, Keychron V4, because that's basically all the ones I know of with VIA, I really don't do anything over 75%. 75%: Gamakay SN75, Keychron K2 Pro/Max or V1 or V1 Max, Monsgeek M1[W] v3/v5 VIA, Akko 5075S VIA, Inland MK Pro (KB83) and MK Pro v2, YMDK YMD75, KPrepublic ID84 or CSTC75, Womier RD75, Ducky Tinker75, or Shortcut Studio Bridge75. 70%: Keychron V7, Yunzii AL71. Also Woot currently has the Keychron Q7 on special for like 1/3 list. 65%: XVX M67, Yunzii AL68, Keychron V2, Ducky Tinker65. 60%: Skyloong GK61 Pro/DS QMK/VIA, Royal Kludge RK61 QMK/VIA, CIDOO QK61 QMK/VIA. 40%/ortho: Inland MK47, KPRepublic CSTC40, Nuphy RS40, YMDK ID75 TKL/FRL/XT: Daring Run DR-70F

my keyboard: monsgeek m1, lubed akko lavender tactile switches, cannonkeys enchanted forest keycaps, ranked lavender keyboard cable (used to be on amazon but i can’t find it anymore), phangkey equilibrium deskmat from drop. monsgeek and akko are based in china, so if you’d like you can buy the keyboard and switches from a us vendor like divinikey. the board is aluminum and very solid. i like it way better than any plastic keyboards i’ve tried; it’s so solid and premium feeling, and i love the bronze (gold? brass? idk) bit on the side. https://preview.redd.it/xqy6sxfxvu4e1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=743ceb2bf3559216308380ede503048a8433b838 (bad old photo)
