I'm a Linux user. Then you want a QMK keyboard. What size? 40%: Inland MK47 * ($35) 60%: Redragon K717 Alcor * ($33) CIDOO QK61 * ($60) Skyloong GK61 QMK/VIA * ($54) Royal Kludge RK61 QMK/VIA * ($40) Womier WK61 Pro * ($31) YMDK DK61 * (barebones, $88 wooden case, $38.50 bare PCB) KBDcraft Adam 60% * ($70 l

Yuck. Just no. Here's what I would recommend: 60%: Redragon K717 Pro * ($18) CIDOO QK61 * ($60) Skyloong GK61 QMK/VIA * ($54) Royal Kludge RK61 QMK/VIA * ($40) Womier WK61 Pro * ($29) YMDK DK61 * ($88 barebones, wooden case) KBDcraft Adam 60% * ($70 lego case) 65%: Womier VK66 Pro * ($39) Royal Kludge RK R6

The full size Gateron Jupiter Banana are the best switches Keychron sells. OMG they're so much better than the weaksauce browns. So here are the best budget 65% I know about. The MU68 is less budget than the others but the wooden case is so lovely: Womier VK66 Pro * ($42) Womier Q61 v2 * ($42) Royal K

Silent switches trump pretty much every other aspect of the build. I wouldn't worry too much about the acoustic qualities of the boards if you're going to put a real silent switch like that in them. Is that the QMK/VIA version of the RK R65? If so, go with that. If not, those boards both have horrib

The wired QMK/VIA versions of the RK61, RK R65, and RK R75 are good. I was unable to get the wireless RK R75 to connect to VIA and RK support was clearly confused so I returned it to Amazon rather than debug it further. I haven't tried the new RK R87. For the RK R61 the Redragon k717 is basically be

OMG I love my RK R65! I love the thocky keys. Super steal for this price point!

K617 Fizz 5 Pin variantDO NOT get K530, if you can spend 4.5k get RK R65. One of the best option under 5k.AG Sentry is available for 4k too. Both of these are better than redragon keyboards
