WOBKEY - Rainy 75

I was using a Keychron over bluetooth and recently I started having issues connecting reliably, so I decided to look for something else. Not sure if it was dying, but I decided I'd had enough of it. I chose to grab a Rainy 75. The usb dongle and bluetooth connections have both been rock-sold for me. It doesn't exactly fit the bill with what you're looking for. It has linear switches, and it has RGB, but the keys aren't shine-through although you didn't specify it shine-through was necessary or not. Unfortunately the vast majority of modern, quality 75% boards come with linear switches, but many of the boards have hot-swappable switches, which is great for customization. To that point, I noticed the Womier RD75(which is extremely similar to the Rainy 75) has a pretty sizeable discount on their site right now. That discount would easily give you plenty of room to order a set of which ever switches you'd like and still come in under $300 CAD. Of course, I haven't tried that board myself but I think the reviews were pretty positive and even better than the Rainy 75 for customization. Anyway, hope that helps.

Rainy75, standard or pro version. I have the standard version.

I'd recommend 75% keebs like Rainy 75 (aluminium body) with VIA support. Aula/Epomaker is not great stuff as they come with proprietary software, but acceptable. At least F75 have gasket mount and 5 pin sockets for switches and normal foam layers. If you need rapid trigger for games - take a look at keyboards with magnetic (HE - Hall effect) keyboards. Dunno much about what to choose between HE keebs :) Most of them are configured by own software directly in browser as I know.

I bought a Rainy 75 for roughly that price around 6 months ago and absolutely love it

The noise and feel is great! exactly as advertised, no complaints

Hey! I'm a huge mechanical keyboard girlie, so I love questions like this! With the caveat that I can't really comment on how well any of these keyboards work wirelessly for gaming, here are some thoughts. Personally I recommend these—they're all hot swappable aluminum 75% or TKLs with no obvious branding and white and/or cream options, and one (Zoom75) can have a knob depending on which one you order. 1. [**Evoworks Evo80**](https://divinikey.com/products/evoworks-evo80-keyboard?variant=41718476013633): this is my personal daily driver keyboard. I have the version with the oat switches and the sound and typing feel are to DIE for (sound test comparing the two switches [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7hkH0mAX3w) for reference). I will say not all the colorways are my favorite—I like the cream one a lot but YMMV. It's incredibly easy to take apart and mod—you literally just press down on it and the top case pops off, you can play with the configuration without a screwdriver! I'm not sure where Evoworks is based, but they're definitely not a budget company—and they have great and responsive customer service. 2. **Meletrix Zoom75**: With the caveat that I think it's overpriced—especially since you'll have to buy your own keycaps and switches and put it together yourself—it's undeniably a solid option. If you don't know what kind of switches you like, WS Morandis are a general crowd-pleaser, and I once again adore the [Keygeek oats](https://divinikey.com/collections/switches/products/keygeek-oat-linear-switches) (from the Evo80, just sold separately). Still, there there are much better and cheaper pre-built options on the market. Meletrix is not a budget company, might be based in China. 3. [**Wobkey Rainy75 Pro (with a BIG caveat)**](https://www.amazon.com/KEEBMONKEY-Mechanical-Acoustics-Connectivity-Pro/dp/B0D87CW7TS/?th=1): The Rainy75 kinda blew the Zoom75 out of the water in terms of affordable-ish keyboards. It's very well and widely reviewed, decently fun to type on, the RGB is nice and vibrant, it sounds great. THAT BEING SAID, Wobkey as a company has horrible customer service and a bad returns policy, so while the Rainy75 is generally considered to have pretty good QC, I would HIGHLY recommend not buying it from them directly and using Amazon or another third party vendor. Wobkey is based in China iirc. As for your questions about brands: * Leopold: I don't know much about them but cursory googling suggests they're a solid brand. * Ducky: I have no idea what their reputation is. * Zoom75: See my above recommendation. * Keychron: Solid, solid keyboard brand. Very newbie friendly. I will say there's a ton of options and some of them are overpriced for what they are * HHKB: Can't speak to them personally. * Nuphy: I thiiiink they're Chinese, but a pretty solid brand from what I hear. * Tofu: Part of kbdfans, not sure where they're based. The overall opinion on them seems pretty meh. * Keydous: I've literally never heard of them before.

I just got the ilovbee b87 for $40 on Amazon, and it's the best sub-$50 keyboard I've tried. If you want higher-end, the rainy 75 is wonderful. If you want to build it yourself, I just did the neo 70 and it was easy and I'm absolutely in love with it. (I added gateron milky yellow pro switches and thick pbt XDA keycaps, and lubed the stabilizers by dabbing some dielectric grease on each end of the wires.)

Silent Switch exist. There is way more choice that what you can find on garbage retailer \*Gaming\* brand. And now you want a Hall effect switch. And all mainstream gaming brand are garbage with it. The Good thing are with Wooting, Nuphy, Iquinix and Keychron on HE board now. And the great thing about all these brand is that they are all easy to mod for sound profile change and make them quieter. If you don't care about Hall effect then Wobkey have still the best sounding and quality for the price on the market with the Rainy75 and Crush80. Thier Hall effect board is a bit on the expensive side. Nuphy Field75HE is the most feature full and insane great value currently in the HE departement.
