Second Keychron. I own two of their keyboards. An Alice and a 65%. The Alice is a deadly weapon. The 65% is much lighter but the build quality is still great. I’m not left handed but they even have some southpaw keyboards as well. Alice is as unusual as their layout options go so if you want something exotic you would have to look elsewhere.
If you are not going to buy direct from someone like Keychron then sadly Amazon is the best due to their return policy. They have never denied me a return whether for a refund or replacement.
As the other poster linked with the Gamers Nexus video Newegg has gotten a bit shitty/shady. Not that Amazon is spotless but at least getting your money back or a working product won’t be a hassle.

Glory to Bezos and his support of the Fourth Reich?
Seriously get off Amazon.

Then post an alternative. Newegg isn’t a good choice: youtu.be/2fnXsmXzphI?si=H2A3652mD73uBRo5
For keyboards and some other parts you can window shop at Amazon and then go direct to the manufacturer’s website to make a purchase.
That leaves Microcenter. Which the poster above mentioned.

I agree. Newegg used to be great but not anymore. Amazon often has what you’re looking for and at the best price. Not everyone has a micro center or equivalent nearby.
I agree, post an alternative instead of just bitchin!

Eh. I order hundreds of pieces from them a year and deal with returns. Never had this issue. That being said, this kind of problem can and does happen with other online sellers as well.

As much as I hear you that this happens with other retailers. It doesn’t happen with Amazon from my experience, and those I’ve known personally. They take what you send back back and refund you, they sometimes say just keep it and we’ll send another to you, do with the old one as you will, they go to bat for you with Manufactures who are trying to weasel out of warranty responsibilities. So I can fully get on with not buying from Amazon for a ton of human reasons, Bezos, employee treatment and such, but when it comes to customer support they are top notch.
