Can't go wrong with Keychron: https://www.keychron.com/collections/normal-profile-keyboards
But it does depend on what you're after

This is a personal choice. I've had Keychron and theyr'e very good entry level .. but I DESPISE the fact that they have Bluetooth only. The fact that you have to press a key to wake the keeb up and then wait 2-3 seconds for Bluetooth to pair before you start typing bothers me to no end.
I ended up selling mine to buy a RoyalKludge one which is an amazon clone ... it's pretty much the same thing but it has a 2.5GHZ dongle that doesn't have that same delay.
It also has RGB LEDs programmable software, hot swappable switches and it costs under a hundo ....
Been using it for 2 years now, very happy with it.
I agree, my current daily driver is a Keychron and so far I haven't had a problem with the Bluetooth when I use it. I use it wired most of the time but a 2.5Ghz dongle would be fantastic.
I just saw the Royal Kludge RK918 today and it looks just like the out of production Anker keyboard I have. It is solidly built and looks great. The only drawback I see is it appears to be like the Anker in that it is a hardwired cable, no customizing with aviator cable or such. Not all RK keyboard are like this and many have the dongle like yours.
