Keychron has released their budget 65% V2. $64 barebone, $84 fully loaded, but with $15 shipping from Keychron. I'll be waiting for this to hit Divinikey or Amazon before I pick it up, but predict that this will be the budget 65% kit to beat for the immediate future.

[PSA] A lot of folks are asking for budget silent switch suggestions. In case folks were not aware, RingerKeys sells Gazzew switch parts, including the silent linear stem ($0.25 each).

[PSA] Avoid Keyboard Kustoms on Etsy. They sell aftermarket keyboard plates. I bought one for my Q1 and one for my Q3. While they fit the board, they do not fit switches.
