Bridge 75 or Rainy 75. I have the Bridge 75 and out of the box it sounds amazing! I love it.

HE keyboards only really benefit those playing competitive FPS games, looking for every bit of advantage they can get - even then unless you're an elite player, it's often overkill. There are plenty of 75% mechanical boards that would suit your needs just fine. A couple "mid range" mechanical boards, for food for thought would be the Womier SK75, Wobkey Rainy 75, Bridge 75 or Evo75.

Bridge 75 plus has a bigger battery, per key RGB, an FR4 plate vs PC, and more dampening foam for better acoustics. For best out of the box, either the Rainy 75 or Evo75, listen to Youtube sound tests for both if acoustics matter to you - all the boards listed are hot swap, so you can swap switches to your liking for better type feel, actuation force, and sound. Be it linear, tactile, or clicky. In short - Evo75 is the more premium option of those listed, so if they're around the same price, I'd spring for the Evo. Easier disassembly, better internals, tons of colour options etc. There's also the Evo80 if you'd prefer an 80% layout, with slightly better build quality, and no raised front lip like on the 75.

Drop is so far behind the curve in the keyboard market, it’s gotten embarrassing. I bought a MassDrop ALT a long time ago, went back to see what cool new keyboards they sold after about 8 years, same shit, no innovation as the rest of the market passed them by. Amazon has better options for half the price now. Shit, I paid less than $100 for what is now my favorite keyb, the Bridge 75.

I went for the Bridge 75 and I do not regret a single thing about it. Even though it did not have the place to store the wireless usb dongle, it has not bothered me as I have not had any need to move the keyboard much (considering you will be getting a gaming PC, this may not be much of a deal breaker). The wireless toggle switch hasn't been changed since I have turned it on when I received the board initially as it needs a sharp tool to reach through under the cover. I have not felt any latency with wireless using the 2.4ghz dongle and is as good as wired. Regarding Bluetooth which I have not tested much, but it works really well for mobiles and tablets based from my experience. I got the black colorway where I feel that the stock keycaps have been great so far. Customizing it won't be a problem due to the ball-catch mechanism. So far, I have not yet thought of customizing from the couple of months I've had it stock. The stock switches also sound immaculate with the thocky princess switches as they sound really marbly and smooth. This has caught me off how well built it is for a budget friendly the price is. For FPS games, 75% layout and mechanical switches should not affect you much as you would not be going for the hall effect regardless. I don't play much fps games now but I presume as you would be hovering more towards the WASD keys, there really isn't much difference with any keyboards - you might get a bit of fatigue at the start changing over from a laptop though, but nothing that a wrist rest cannot fix. In terms of effective typing speed, I can confidently say that I was able to be 15% faster with the Bridge 75 in any typing tests I have done so far. This has been my daily driver for both work and leisure and can say that it has been the best <$100 keyboard investment I've made.

Evo75, evo80, crush80, bridge75 and rainy75 would all be decent options in this price bracket if you want prebuilt. Personally I’d lean towards the Evo75 because I think it’s basically the best pre-built you can buy right now, but I know there have been some problems with the ISO layout.

Don't buy overpriced crap from the big PC peripheral brands. Try Evo80 or Evo75. Probably the best pre-built keyboards on the market. Bridge75 and Crush 80 Reboot Pro are also great options.
