I got a couple Kono 84 for spares, switch testing, experimentation and keycap display. I could do without the wireless and RGB, but they come in my favorite layout/format and the price is nice. They are pretty basic, with crisp simple lines and choice of basic black and white. I had to flatten the slightly-upturned corner of the plate on one of mine, but it bent into place easily with careful pressure. I haven't tried opening them up at all. Switches seem pretty secure. Stabilizers sound like they'll be rattly - are there simple options for impoving the stabs?

I've heard good things about the tailor's mod (https://youtu.be/2S61CynOwOc), simple, just time consuming. There's also the holee and plumbers mods. Other than that, your usual lubing, and clipping. I don't recommend bandaid modding, as it can make your bottom out mushy.

Something people forget to consider is stem wobble, a switch with great stem wobble will have significantly less chance of rattling.
My NK65EE’s plate mount stabs with U4T feel non existent, a Durock linear sample I got have phenomenal stem stability and really reduced non-properly modded PCB mount stabs on a board I have.
