Budget-friendly and nice to use

Very nice little keyboard! Mine has Gateron Yellows which are extremely smooth and feel pleasant to type & game on. The keyboard body is plastic but doesn't feel cheap; it's decently weighty and comes with magnetic feet that you can attach to tilt up the back. I haven't tried the Bluetooth, but I am easily able to use it wired - simply plug in and set the keyboard to Off so it doesn't use the battery. The manual is helpful for setting the functions, though keep in mind there is basically no documentation online about this board. I haven't changed any of the keycaps or switches, but it does come with the tools to do so. Tons of RGB options (like seriously, there's probably 17 different styles and you can change the colors on all of them, there is SO MUCH RGB). I like the additional row of keys on the side, which makes it slightly more functional than a 60% while maintaining the small size. I find the placement of the arrow keys slightly wonky but that is a minor quibble.

Meko Push 65% Hotswap Bluetooth RGB Double Shot ABS Mechanical Keyboard

Phenomenal

I loved typing on it. I got one with Kailh BOX white switches. I have another mechanical keyboard now with blue switches because my wife saw it took it for herself! I have to buy another one but they are no longer available. Such a shame.

MK Typist PBT Double Shot keycaps, Type C USB, Programmable, 16 Layout Mechanical Keyboard

love this keyboard! ttc flame red switches are a must 🔥

Cutest keyboard ever, and the TTC Flame Red Switches have blown my mind! They are sooo satisfying and soothing. This is the perfect keyboard!

Was nervous to not have arrow keys, but watched some videos on how to reprogram keys to function as arrow keys, and now I prefer the 60% size to keyboards with arrow keys!!

10/10 would recommend giving this keyboard a try if you like the look!

TTC Venus Switches Linear PCB Mount Review

New to the keyboard game, but I think these are excellent switches! I would give a 4.5 if I could. Factory lube feels great, very, very, smooth switch. Hardly any stem wobble. Can't find any information on the materials used, but it doesn't really matter, they sound great, very solid and deep collisions. These are on a Keychron Q5 with tape, force break and a bunch of Rockwool stuffed in and it sounds really poppy/creamy in my opinion. Compared to the original Gateron Browns that came with the board, these are much less sharp in sound, poppy but not clacky. In the batch that I got, 2 had an issue where they felt like a silent switch, muted and mushy and a few had bent pins, but that's easily fixable. One thing that I noticed is that with my Cherry profile caps, the home row, being the shortest, had some issues with interference. The inner keycap would touch the rounded side part of the top of the switch. When you press down, it would sound and feel creaky. I took a nail file to the edges on each side of each switch and the problem went away, but something to be aware of. Outside of that though, really excellent switch. Would recommend.

MK Purple Slush 50g Linear PCB Mount Review

These switches were great out of the box, except for one small thing. In my humble opinion you might want to think about shipping these a little bit differently -- many of the ones I bought arrived with bent pins which I had to gently bend straight before swapping them in. Any rougher and some of those pins might have broken off.

Tecsee Carrot Switches Linear Review

Smooth and clacky - on the high-pitched side of things with a unique sound thanks to the PME housing material.

Tecsee Coral Switches Tactile Review

Very good strong tactiles with a novel stem material, Nylon - and a novel bottom housing material, HPE. Smooth and snappy with a medium clacky sound, mired only by some wiggly spring noise. A little lubricant on those should clear that up.
