I recently bought this mechanical keyboard from Aliexpress, Aigo A68 (~46 USD). I did a more in depth review in my blog with more pictures. https://0x00.cl/blog/2023/mechanical-keyboard/

Can't go wrong at this price, especially when the switches are hot swappable! Looks nice and clean.

depends on software.... most of the time its not an issue but if you want to add layers you have to have QMK.

If what you're trying to do isn't too complex and you don't mind being "tied" to the computer, you could get quite far with kmonad ot something similar.

Although I wouldn't want to do without qmk anymore...

That looks very nice! You should try some cheap mod like the tape mod
