Welcome to the mech world. Do you have any idea of what type you want? RGB? Cherry switches? Etc.?

I have  no idea honestly... living in the middle of nowhere stuck in the early 1900's makes it hard to physically test anything. from what ive read, some modded(lubed and stickered) brown switches might be up my alley, either that or torpes, but those area  bit out of my price range

Cherry MX browns are a perfect hybrid between typing and gaming. Browns were the first switch I had and I loved them! If you want a cheap starter board with lots of room for customization, look into the Quickfire Rapid.

Welcome to Geekhack!

I think I've already replied in your other thread.

But just to add that on-one can really tell you which keyboard you'll like.  We can recommend a few keyboards that match your requirements, probably with different switches, different keycaps, different size keyboards and so on.  Whether you get such keyboard and actually like it no0one can predict.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
