What do you want to do with it?

Out of the three, the one with the best reputation is probably the QFR.
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Yea, the QFR is a pretty esteemed keyboard around here for its price. It's basically a cheap Filco.

What is there to even consider?

QFR is the only correct response.

The g710+ looks terrible IMO. Just aesthetics wise... as well as functionality I guess as well.
The bottom row is non standard meaning that you won't be able to replace the spacebar at the least.

This remains true with the 6Gv2. The problem with this one is that it uses something that we like to call "big ass enter"
This enter key is very much different from the ISO enter and it is just as hard to find another cap for.

The reason why cap compatibility is important is because many keyboard enthusiasts will want to put custom keycap sets on and this won't be doable with non standard layouts.

The QuickFire Rapid is fully standard in its layout and it has a good reputation as well.
Some people say that its solid build quality is comparable to some of the even more high end boards like customs.
