What are good not too crazy expensive 60-65% options these days? (lemmy.one)

Looking for something that has qmk/vial support, hot swap, and in the price range of my first and only keyboard that was the kbd67v3. I am leaning towards wanting to try 60% unless 65% has better affordable options.

Already got cherry mx caps, and switches I like, so just need everything else.

When in doubt, Keychron. :P

Seriously, if you want QMK/VIA and hotswap, and have no other requirements, it's likely to be one of their V, Q or K Pro boards.

What's wrong with your kbd67v3?

I second this, I’m really impressed with my q3 and q0s quality. Though I’ve never owned a high end board to compare to. I only wish they offered wireless via 2.4ghz usb dongle.

I like it I just want to build another one to use with my other devices like my tablet when I want to type on physical keys over touch screen.

It's the last day for Molly60, which has been getting really good reviews as a budget 60 if you wanted to try that:

I'm looking forward to q4 this year when these get shipped. It's exciting to see such a decent quality keeb for such a great price. Ordered one for me and as a gift for my brother.

I have 2 porticos because the kbd67 was always out of stock. They still exist but the price went up to $160.

I got d60 lite, it's good enough with qmk support for dz60rgb.
