Government Job = Excuse for a Pink/Feminine WFH Upgrade

Some mechanical keybs with low profile switches feel nice. Like a Mac keyboard, but better. Good brands have different key cap options. Here's a Keychron in white (not sure of AU availability, but gives the idea) https://www.keychron.com/collections/mechanical-keyboard/products/keychron-k5-max-qmk-v

Full size Lofree with the creamy sound

You mean you don't want it to be compact? You could look at the Keychron K5 Max, but it probably won't sound or feel as good as the Lofree. Would probably feel better though if you got different switches.

All Iwant is a black Air75v3 with UK layout :(

my criteria were: 96% or greater size UK ISO low profile of which the only option seemed to be keychron. went with the K5 Max and it's been lovely so far. looks like there are some compatible keycaps that would make it all black, but I haven't tried them.

Full size wireless keyboard

I just got a Keychron K5 Max with the brown keys that I absolutely love, its my first mechanical keyboard. I am not sure how loud is too loud but I find it acceptable. It has backlighting but not shine through, but not a big deal as I type by memory. Good luck

Quality hot-swappable keyboard

I mean, it really depends on what sort of feel you like. I find that really hard to gauge personally. I really like the feel of the Logitech keyboards, but I despise that company.. The closest feel I've found are the gateron bananas. Imo bananas are a bit lighter than I would like, but some people s

keyboard recommendations? looking for a full size gaming keyboard ~90$

I have had both Keychron (different model - K5 Max) and the Aula F99 Pro. Out of the two, I preferred the Aula due to the sound and how relaxing it was to type on. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these personally.

Do we think Nuphy is ever going to release a normal 100% low profile layout?

Agreed, the closest thing will be Keychron K5 Max, but the typing sound and feel is kinda mid
