Hello everyone, I’ve managed to burn up three keyboards in the last week or so. All of them were kinda old, so its not that surprising, but still kinda annoying. Two of them died gracefully, specific keys just stopped working. I could fix them, but I don’t feel like those boards are worth the effort. They aren’t swappable keys, so I’d have to solder new keys on.
I want a new mechanical keyboard that has a physical volume knob, and I also really like backlit keys that shine through the letters. Can anyone provide any recommendations? I’m not opposed to building one, but I have not done that yet.

Keychron keyboards have the features you want (but they don’t come with pre installed see through keycaps)
Im quite happy with my purchase, that said I had to send in my V10 Max for warranty service due to board failure after around a year… at least they swapped it to a new one without question
Can you get to a brick & mortar store?
I personally like to try things out before I buy. What one person loves may be wrong for someone else.
That’s my take.
Although they don’t include your requirement for a physical volume knob (sadly), Wooting keyboards are really built to last.
Edit: I see that they actually have programmable and hot-swappable knobs on their roadmap: https://wooting.io/knobs
