NOTE: I’m in europe so i need to get my things from eu sites, luckily i have some but not a lot so i would like some recommendations. Also i want sort of an iso layout or a swedish layout (no idea what its called)

so i have basically forgot everything since i built my board like 2 or 3 years ago and the board has been fine, but it doesn’t sound like i want to anymore, the stabs suck balls, the layout doesn’t work for me anymore, the force thingo on my switches is too much etc. So i want to get a new board but i don’t want to spend that much since i have spent a lot of money on other crap, and yes i know that basically anything under $200 is not gonna be the best but i just want something better than what i have now and yeah

so my board rn is a kbd67 lite with akko haze pink silent switches, unlubed stabs and some random amazon keycaps

these are the seperate parts i am looking for in my custom build (no prebuilt):

75% layout or something similar, basically just the most compact board with arrow keys and an f row

polycarbonate plate i think?

some sort of mounting i guess

iso or swedish layout

i would like a colored transparent case but that may be hard to find

switches with less than 43g of force

not sure what sound profile i want but maybe like clacky or something?

standard cherry keycap profile or whatever its called

pre-lubed stabs and switches since im not ready to lube them on my own

either linear or tactile switches, im not sure but i will try some tactiles in a store soon

via compatible

thats basically it!!! if you need more info then please say so

    im gonna sound picky here but i don’t really want to buy a complete, i like the experience of getting all of the parts and building a unique board 🤷‍♂️

    edit: and yes i could buy a complete and swap everything out but that just doesnt feel right and wil probably be more expensive anyway
