I prefer it that way sometimes lol means I got a steal on the keyboard. For example my $20 GMMK Pro Barebones and my $16 Keychron V10 Max. Everything is more expensive than the board at that point, which is a win :)

I have the GMMK pro (Ver. 1), had it for about 4 and a half years and use it daily. It’s the first keyboard I ever built and have had zero issues with it. Truly, it’s what got me into keyboards in the first place. As others have mentioned, it’s mainly because of the price and features it offers comp

If they have the older version still in stock they're clearing out the barebones for $40 which is an amazing deal. Aluminum instead of plastic. Gasket mount. Firmware is in the main QMK repo already. Wired so no chance of a battery fire. I would add Outemu Silent Yellow Jade or Silent Lemon switches

I've got a Q6 Max, standard build which I've been surprised by. But if I want bang-per-buck I'd go for the ND104 every time. My go-to is a Glorious GMMK 3 Pro with pc plate, KeyGeek Y2 switches and MT3 Susuwatari keycaps 👌

Been down this exact rabbit hole mate - that budget and those requirements are pretty solid for what you're after. The Keychron K8 Pro might be your best bet, ticks most of your boxes with the hot swap, decent build quality and you can get it with ISO layout through their EU store Silent switches ar

There is a lot of budget options now. But I’d recommend a gmmk pro, you only need a switch and keycaps there to complete it. I’d also recommend a linear switch to get that thocc sound. There’s a lot of youtube vids on it. You might want to watch. Edit: There are switches that are pre-lubed that you

I have 2 glorious barebones boards (GMMK Pro and GMMK 3 Pro) and 3 mice. Thing is though, I paid probably $120 for all 5 of those things combined. I did mod them up and have matching GMMK Numpads for each. If you don’t care about RGB controls, they can be great keyboards. You do have to be picky tho

Glorious GMMK Pro Shhhh! Don't tell anybody, but the GMMK Pro is a perfectly nice board if you don't need a super-soft typing feel. Not at all worth MSRP of course, but with the gaudiness exiled to the bottom (unlike the Pro 3), it's attractive and substantial. I got mine for like $40 barebones and

Slightly random, but I just bought an incredibly cheap GMMK pro (30€ - all that was wrong with it is a single LED that's out of sync!) and was extremely confused that the GMMK Core software didn't work - and even more confused after seeing how much customisation it had in VIA. I was close to trying

Amazingly informative reply! Thank you so much. After having read that and some of the links you provided, I am hesitant to getting the P1 HE. I am currently using a GMMK Pro and it just works, even though there are better keyboards out there, I still think this is a decent keyboard for the price, w
