Hi everyone! I'm looking to buy my first mechanical keyboard, do any of you have some recommendations?

Budget of $60-$80, but I'm willing to go as high as $100 if the difference in quality and features is earth-shattering enough. Ideally full size (100%) or close to it, but I have no preference between ANSI US and ISO US layouts as long as its QWERTY.

Must be Linux compatible, must be hot-swap, and should have a backlight of some kind (I don't mind if its not RGB). I also do tend to travel occasionally, so while I'd like it to have a wired option it doesn't have to be wired only, and I don't mind if its low profile or not. As for color it should ideally have a black/dark colored option, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker if there isn't one.

I'm planning on using it mostly for coding and gaming, and I don't mind either linear or tactile switches as long as they are not too loud.

I've been browsing through quite a few of the other recommendation posts too, but most of what I found tends to either lack one of the requirements, has bad drivers, or has mixed reviews, hence why I decided to make another "asking for recommendations" post here.

Thanks in advance!
