EG75

Yeah, all 4 I mentioned using Sparklink 480 MCU solution, so they perform way better than MG75PRO and Yunzii (Not like you're going to notice it in real life, but it's just a fact). SU75PRO and Weikav EG75 should be a great base for just switches swap. MG75MAX, imo, requires a little bit more of mod

In case of IPI more thocky sound (compared to another HE boards) achieved thanks to PC positioning plate while most HE boards using hard plates like Alu/CF to achieve better accuracy and stability. Can't really recall any other high end HE board (besides Wooting 80HE, but it doesn't really sound tha

Honestly, it's a budget board, so spending the price of board itself on switches doesn't make sense. However, you won't get anything great out of the box for $85 anyway, so it's kinda obsolete question. Astroaims are pretty bad itself, so basically any good switches will be an upgrade. If you don't

No problem, Laobaozi soon also should test another possibly good candidate for 100-150$ bracket Weikav EG75, it's a Sparklink 480 with aluminum case and looks like a decent switches (Hejin Snow Blade), hope it will have good performance.

If you don’t mind going slightly higher, you can get Weikav EG75 for ~85CAD (400CNY). The cheapest configuration comes with not so great switches, but it’s pretty much expectable at that price range.

Even though M2 V5 HE is a fine choice, going with 75% + standalone numpad (if you really need it) would give you more options and better outcome overall.My recommendation would be Everglide SU75PRO/Weikav EG75/Irok MG75MAX. You can get SU75PRO as a barebone and buy switches and keycaps separately fo

Everglide SU75PRO (with Siren switches), unless you need gamepad emulation mode. Weikav EG75 is a great option too, but stock switches are more on the clacky side. If you need gamepad emulation though... maybe ATK RS7V2
