Default keyboard recommendations?

Hey y'all, looking to buy a new keyboard and was wondering what the cool kids are using nowadays. My current one is on it's way out and is getting a lot of ghost inputs.

Prefer something that's mechanical with more of a bump feel than a clicky one. If anyone has some recommendations for a solid keyboard let me know, thx (budget is below $200)

I used the GamaKay K87. Probably the best looking one I have.

Razor huntsman is a great choice. Best one I've used by far. Extremely fast and accurate.

I use a Razer Blackwidow Elite with Yellows, and it works great for me. 1000 Hz poll rate, and works well with Linux.

I use a HyperX Alloy Origins 65% Linear. It's made outta metal, so its very dense and heavy. And the switches feel very nice in my opinion.

So someone gifted me an apple keyboard and it allows me to hit any triples that do not require both the up and down arrow at the same time (^v double works just fine).

So I realized having plugged the new one in an extra port, I can just have my right hand there and keep my left hand on the old keyboard. Honestly it didn't take long to get used to and thus I recommend it as an option for anyone that can nab any second keyboard from a friend/family/thrift.

I wish you can go into a store and give a test run on a keyboard. I got the expensive ones always and I regret buying expensive ones. You should give one a try to see how it feels to you. It's better to have a better typing experience then to make your hands sore.
