Welcome to Geekhack!

Why not just get a Noppoo Choc Mini 84, 75% keyboard in white with Cherry MX Red and LED?

I don't like the green LED on this Noppoo white version, that's why i want more options to decide

Is there a particular reason why you want a 75%?

They are often more difficult to get replacement keycap sets for due to non-standard areas of keycaps.

A TKL (80%) in standard ANSI layout would give you many more options.

Although that search does show a few that are not TKL.

Not any special reason but many because it's small may be. I don't like the mini 60%.
But if a TKL 80%, filco MJ2 good?

Actually perhaps to get a better idea, what do you use on the keyboard?

Do you need the function keys F1-F12? Do you need the arrow keys? Do you need a numpad?

That definitely varies from person to person. That being said, smaller keyboards utilizes layers that allow you to have keys performing multiple functions.
