OK, test number.... 113.
Tomorrow new keyboard will be delivered - Nuphy Node 100 (low profile, beige version).
I hope mods on that will be ok. However, it is kinda messed up full size cause cursor cluster is moved :(
I hope that those red switches going to be heavy enoughf or me. I wonder if low profile needs lighter spring for same result as standard profile.

OK, so Node 100. Very good feeling when typing, too light for me, would need to swap sp;rings for something heavier.
Problem is, that layout. Move nav and arrows cluster and I'm dead...
Why the hell Nuphy did Node 100 high profile with normal layout, but low prifle made weird.

Because of weird layouts, I avoid those 98-100% keyboards. I figure, they should just go 104 key if they're going to be that large.

That said, the Neo98 seems to be quality and affordable:
