Another brand that offers entry level boards is Keychron. My tastes are different from yours, so I can’t speak to whether they’ll scratch the itch, but I think you should check out what they have to offer if you haven’t already.

Those are much cheaper than a ducky lol and I really like that minimalist look. I was looking on mechanicalkeyboards.com and I really dig their retro board but they are to expensive for me.
Whatever you do, remember to share it here!
Of course! Will give me a good reason to clean my desk since it's currently a mess 😂
Difficult to answer not knowing what you like aesthetically. I would surely look at keychron.
That's fair. Typically stick with black everything. Have had all the RGB and have outgrown it to an extent, currently have the razer RGB mousepad and want to switch it out as well with something without lights, but I'm a finger peck typer and need the RGB on the keyboard sometimes lol. keychron was another one I saw as well so I'll have to look some more. Thank you.
Others have mentioned Keychron and Ducky already but I just want to mention you can get the pudding keycaps separately for cheap off AliExpress.
That's actually a really good idea. Just to make sure I actually like them 😂 do all keycaps fit all mechanical keyboards? Or do I have to make sure they fit the MX styled switches that razer uses?
You have to go out of your way to find keycaps that aren't MX-styled. But you may want to double check the layout and particularly the size of the spacebars, shifts, and the keys in the bottom row. Some gamer boards have nonstandard layouts.
Ah ok. Well that makes things easy. I did see that about gamer boards. Will have to get one of those printer keycaps rulers that I saw and do some checking. I know mine "feels" normal but I've been using razer keyboards since I bought my first computer so I don't even know 😂
I'm not sure about Razer sorry. I only know Ducky and Keychron typically use switches with Cherry stems.
