Hot-swappable keyboard recommendations?

My Corsair K65 Lux (TKL, cherry MX red) has died on me.

Thinking is high time I bought myself something a bit better.
Custom Pre-built is what I'm thinking right now.

Requirements:
TKL
UK-ISO
Not really sure on switches
have only ever experienced Cherry MX Red & MS Silver Speed switches
would like to try switches with some tactile feedback

No real set budget, just want a decent board.
Been looking @ the Keychron Q3 Max w/Gateron Jupiter Banana switches. Is this a good place to start?

Any other recommendations?

Thanks mate, I'll take a look.

I think pre-orders may have closed for the Neo80 now.

Something from Keychron would be the easiest entry point.

Ordered a Keychron Q3 Max & a Wooting 80HE.

The Keychron should arrive in a few days & the Wooting is expected towards thew end of September.

Q3 user here and it's great. Word of warning, you will probably need a quick force break mod to remove the 'ping' and it's worth changing the plate, the default is steel.

Keyboard arrived this morning.
Thanks for the pointers. Did the force break mod.
Sounds & feels amazing.
