Requirements: TKL or 65% ( Must have arrow Keys basically ) Must not have any odd colors, only black and white. Must be hot swapabble, I want to lube and tune switches and the stabliezers, and the entire keyboard. Must include a wrist rest. ( I wasn't using a wrist rest for the past 4 months, and I can feel tingly and burning in my hands already. ) Price range: 120- 170 U.S.D 200 maybe And that's all this is the list I have come up with: Rk68 or the YUNZII KC68 Akko WOB PBT keycaps Akko Vintage white switches Razer Wrist Rest

Your list sounds very nice bro. I'm not familiar with YUNZII KC68, but I'm sure that RK68 is pretty worth for the price. For the budget keyboard I also recommend you Tester68/CIY68 (about $15-30) and TM680/LK67 (about $60-80). I bought those 2 boards but don't have time to mod them yet. For the switches, I don't have any Akko switches but it's quite famous budget switches. If you are looking for linear switches that KTT red wine (about $0.22/piece) would be another good chioce imo. It sounds so thock after some lubing. Here's the sound test: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l4iqkq6Sd9PLhMY.html And the keycaps yes Akko yes! People in my country make fun of Akko say that it's a keycaps company making good quality of keycaps but average level of keyboard haha. I hope it helps and enjoy your keyboard. :)
