Looking for nice budget keyboard (dmv.pub)

I want to buy a new mech board but not looking to drop a lot of money on it. What's the best pre-built budget mech keyboard you've ever tried? ~$100 or less.

Keychron and nothing else. None of the gaming branded keyboards even come close, the value is insane.

Keychrons are nice at the US$100 budget, but if you go really cheap there are some bargains to be had. Akko makes some nice stuff, and the Chinese ecommerce sites are swamped with decent stuff that goes on sale at various times.

Akko boards are nice too, but keychron has consistently been better at the same price for all the ones I tried.

I agree here. I have several of them now and while I have some much higher end ones, I feel like I learned everything from the Keychron boards. (Q series mainly)
