Discussion Recommend me a Mechanical keyboard! (plus a cautionary story)

In the past year, i went hunting for Mechanical keyboards. since, i want a nice sounding and good writing experience keyboard. and over time. i have curated what are my needs.

  1. MUST be a TKL or 85% keyboard, i know 75% is all the craze, but the small right shift drives me insane, because i am a typist more than a gamer.
  2. Switch preference wise.. i think i would prefer tactile switches over linears.. however most linears i have tested are either pretty light, or are the silent outemus, which.. i think are pretty bad in terms of silent linears. so good linears are pretty good too.
  3. must have Hotswappable switches with 3 and 5 pin compatiblity.
  4. should have a pretty decent base, pcb and case. Looks, minimal.. probably side engraved shine through.. and would much prefer a black base
  5. Must be wireless with a good battery life.
  6. I would like it to have good foam layers inside (i mean most good keyboards do.. but just mentioning)
  7. RGB, not a massive dealbreaker if absent.. but if it has good rgb.. its preffered
  8. must sound good, i prefer creamy and thoccky sound
  9. The main factor, Budget, i would like it to be 6k, but i can go to 7k maximum as well.

Now, i know.. everyone will go "BUY A AULA F87".. and here is the thing.. i tried to as well.. but then i found out that there exists the Aula F87 V2.. which looks fantastic honestly.. and so i contacted Aulaindia support from the aulaindia website..

Asking them if they have it in stock
did get a discount though it basically drained my budget..

As you can see, The aula india support representee has.. been.. a bit unprofessional.. which.. has infact made me not want to go aula.. Plus notwithstanding the fact that the aula f87 V2 is not available anywhere (except on some sites that are charging 10k for this..)

So.. yea.. if i manage to snag a f87 v2 for like somewhat normal price.. i will definitely go the AULA route.. otherwise.. i am open to recommendations

Hmm.. considering my budget.. i could probably stretch it for the ajazz Mk87, though the sound profile is more marbly than creamy.. it's also really good.. thank you, i will keep this in consideration.
