Epomaker is out with its first budget prebuilt custom keyboard, the Tide75. It's a full aluminum, enthusiast-inspired slate with tri-mode wireless connectivity, but you'll need to replace the keycaps to make the most of it.

    I'm curious, why is that in your case? Is it the responsiveness/rapid trigger? I like magnetic keyboards too but the sound is always a little off to my ears.

    I'm not a sound guy, but I found I like linear switches best after trying a few.

    Found a budget board by M1W-SP HE Monsgeek, sister company of Akko, switches are Akko magnetic cream yellow.

    sound test at 6:37

    The Monsgeek keyboards are such a good value. I tried that same keyboard and really liked it too.

    Pretty  solid for the price. Shipping from China just takes a bit. They were out of black so I went silver, which came with pink keys so I swapped those out with some GMK  VaporWave knockoffs from AliExpress which work. Not keen on the side brass plates and found a 3D printable for the side strips, thinking of printing out some translucent colored PETG and maybe a new volume knob.
