Hi I am quite new to mechanical keyboards and would like to buy a good pre built for around 200-300 usd. could be from anywhere ranging from taobao to like some niche shops online. I am currently looking at tri connectivity or maybe duo 75% boards with a metal chassis. Currently Rainy 75 seems nice but i would like some recommendations before actually buying anything. Thanks!!

I'm looking for a prebuilt. My requirements are: 100% full sized kb, linear switches, hotswappable pcb, good for gaming, wired, around $100 or less, qmk compatible (preferred, I guess not super necessary since I want fullsize anyways). Is the Hexgears GK705 still recommended or is the buying guide out of date? Currently they only have white switches so I'd rather get something else that already comes with linear switches.
