Very well built, very responsive, still as good as the day I bought it. Also, and I cannot emphasize this enough: removable USB cable.

i know of gamer dudes who have been disallowed to play at nights by their family members

Now I have to decide creamy jade switch (clacky) or sea salt silent (quiet)

Is it just a noise thing or does clacky “feel” a lot more satisfying to tap?

I’ve had several. No issues with them and they are inexpensive

I just picked up this Blitzwolf BW-KB1 from HardOff for 1000 yen. RGB everywhere (controllable and disablable). USB-C port for wired use or charging. Can be paired with up to 5 different BT devices. No drivers needed. I've tested wired connectivity to Android, PC, Raspberry Pi.

Don't recommend the aukey ones.

if you're up for spending a fair bit of money, you could go for keychron
also if you want jis layout, you're gonna inevitably need to spend a bit more compared to ansi layout

Great value. They don’t use CherryMX keys which helps keep cost down, and they ship their keyboards with a key puller and replacement buttons which is awesome.
