Keydous NJ80, I really like it for a prebuilt. Great Quality.

Q1 or Akko MOD 007v2. Both are great alternatives.

Be mindful of alternatives that use NORTH facing leds. Especially if rocking cherry profile caps.

With longer stems on most good newer switches, that should not pose an issue. I am using cherry on AKKO Jellies on a N-facing.

plenty of good newer switches don't have long stems. bottoming out on the pole vs the rails is an entirely subjective thing

Hephboard has a wireless hall-effect switch keyboard with knobs that fits your requirements, sadly no price yet

I love my keychron Q1! It's a pretty good keeb with native VIA support. Sounds nice with my Alpacas and Zealios in it, and depending on where you get it it's pretty cheap :)
