It’s a sad day: My previous mechanical keyboard more/less died. Multiple keys just stopped working and even upon replacing them with new switches: still dead.

So anyways I’m looking for a keyboard with some specific features:

Anyone know of one that is:

  • full size (extra macro keys would be a bonus!)
  • rgb backlit
  • has at least one usb port on it (so it has a builtin hub of sorts) Super bonus if it also has a type c passthrough port.
  • user-swapable cherry-mx compatible switches. (bonus if it comes with browns)
  • bonus points if it can run open-source firmware
  • bonus points if it has a volume spinner-thing

I know its asking a bunch, but hey if someone has seen one of these, or has ideas: let me know.

Budget: idk, but I’d be willing to pay probably $200 ish if it was a perfect match and seemed legit.

Thanks in advance

    Das 4Q and Prime 13 seem closest to what you want and in budget.

    Personally I like Keychron better but I’m not aware of any with a USB hub, which could be overcome with a USB extension cable for the Yubikey.
