>razer huntsman mini this board is not hotswappable with normal mechanical switches, it uses a different tech that doesn't have any options for different switches You would have to get a entirely different board but you can just put any keycaps since it just has the + (the cross shape) stem [https://wiki.keyboard.gay/KEYCAPS.html](https://wiki.keyboard.gay/KEYCAPS.html)
I'd recommend getting a 60% if you're gonna travel with it a lot, if you're also gonna do gaming with it then you could go for a huntsman mini. It is out of your budget range but if you use checkmate it can get you a discount and maybe be closer to your budget range. If not that redragon is good, but you should go in store to find a 60% red switch keyboard, they have a lot of blue switches so just test them out before picking one up.
I had the same board with the tactiles and if you like quiet keys they weren’t bad. I did hate that they aren’t hot swap though. I’d suggest YouTubing different switches and sound profiles before committing to another board. Do you want silent? Thocky? Creamy? (Clearly not clicky) I went down the same rabbit hole lately and didn’t know how many awesome boards are out now.
A keyboard I reccomend is the huntsman v2 or v2 tkl. I have the tkl version of this keyboard with linear switches and the build quality and sound is pretty good. You might wanna lube the stabilizers tho. The huntsman mini is also pretty good. If you do decide on buying any of the huntsman keyboards, always get linears because the clicky switches are horrible and arent the same as like a traditional clicky switch like razer greens.
I just went back to my old huntsman mini after using a custom keyboard i built for awhile because of snaptap and wow it makes a huge difference in games like cs and Val
My monsgeek m1w is amazing man. I came from a huntsman mini too and had the same problem. One caveat! I actually ended up putting the keycaps for the letters from my rhm on my monsgeek board because they’re a great profile for gaming. You can obviously order other ones I just wanted to go with what I know.
Razer huntsman mini with the purple switches and a Logitech g502 hero special edition
From what I understand, the best gaming keyboards are objectively Huntsman, specifically the new v3 pro generation, due to their switches, actuation time, etc. I personally have a Huntsman Mini (with red switches) and have had it for a year now, and I think it's fantastic; zero problems with the keyboard and the software.
