I really like my Keychron v1 75% (function keys but no numpad).

It's good a really heavy aluminum base, hot swap keys, and replaceable caps. Keeb dorkdom is a REALLY deep rabbit hole as has already been said, but with something like this you get a very useful keyboard that you can build on later should you desire.

My primary mechanical keyboard that I've been using for a while is starting to go a little flakey on me, even after a few rounds of cleaning, so I'm looking to finally replace it.  I'm looking for something:
  • With fully mechanical keys (replaceable switches would be a nice bonus)
  • Ergonomic layout, which these days seems to primarily mean a split design
  • Illuminated keycaps would be preferred
Anyone have good recommendations they can share?
