Hey there! Im Scott, or Pete, mid 30s dude in the US. Just recently got into the keyboard scene, and there is SOOO much out there that I have no idea whats what half the time. So just kinda wanna browse forums, ask some questions, meet some friendly knowledgeable people, and spend a bunch of money I dont have on fancy keyboards lol. Good to meet you. Feel free to message with questions or anything at all.

Quick follow up, I'm pretty sure I would like to find a 80% board, hot swap, and Gat ink blacks or just blacks if I cant get inks. looking to buy pre-assembled, since I'm very new. I thought I wanted to keep the 10 key, and a friend suggested the Keychron K4 wireless. So that's what I got, with reds because the browns were unavailable. I hate this layout. To many keys jammed together. And I had mx blues on my previous board (yes, I have realized how horrible those are) but I am used to that resistance. The Gat reds have a 45  actuation  and I want at least 55 if not 60. Sooo general question, do you have any sites that offer simple builds online, come completed in the mail? I know of Keychron, epomaker, 1up, kbdfans, and r/mk and MM. But that all gets pretty complicated. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
