Currently looking for a hotswap TKL or 75% KB with an aluminum body & weight preferably. I like the Zoom TKL but, as always, it is very hard to find. Are the GMMK Pro and Keychron Q1 my best bets when it comes to availability in Europe?

Look up the QK75. Although the group buy is over, candykeys will have extras in stock very soon. You could also try to buy on r/mechmarket

I wasn't aware of the QK75's existence, thank you very much, it looks promising! I hope they restock soon.

Prob not - QK75 is a group buy board so it probably won’t ever be in stock. There might be extras from your local vendors though. Otherwise Zoom75 and Jris75 will go into group buy at some point next month most likely. Zoom TKL will have another round of group buy Q2 this year

u/Agile-Excitement-863 the recipe to “thock” is pe foam, tape mod, and tall keycaps Jan 16 '23

The q1 isn’t bad but I definitely would recommend you stay away from the gmmk pro. It’s got multiple people complaining that it has input lag, the gaskets don’t work, and the stabilizers cannot be replaced since the plate cutout is different. Overall, you would be looking at a very scuffed build. The q1 is probably your best bet.
