I've happily used Skyloong GK61 Pro for a few years before going split.

Fantech seems to be an Australian brand, at least I've only ever seen it advertised on Amazon AU, but on paper this looks like an amazing deal for a mechanical QMK-based mechanical keyboard in your market. Fantech MAXFIT 6 (AUD $80) Other options: Womier VK66 Pro (AUD $82) I have tested this and it'

I don't think that anybody has a 60% with silent switches prebuilt so you either have to get a new keyboard and silent switches or stick silent switches in your existing keyboard. Okay looking at the Amazon link, if that's the specific board it's the SK61 which uses optical switches which are kind o
