Reason for not wanting Keychron: everything i want is out of stock. Also, shipping is kinda of steep in Europe (16 euros to get a V6 here in Italy).

I'm looking around and there doesn't seem to be that many options for broke peasants like me, especially since i'd like a full layout or at least 96%. There's one called Aura F99 which seems ok, though google suggests it has firmware issues, like the keyboard suddenly becoming non-responsive when switching modes (wireless to wired or vice versa), or sometimes keys going nuts (spewing out random crap when pressed). Also, i don't like how it keeps charging when set to wired, which seems to defeat the point of having that setting.

I googled for alternatives to Keychron but all i found is keyboards in the 130 euros or more so that's out.

So, Aula is 75 euros on Amazon, while the V6 comes to 90 euros total. The options i want are not available but i guess i can monitor the site and see if something comes up before Black Friday ends.

Anything else i could be looking for?
