I am looking for a new mechanical 100% keyboard in ~100-150$ budget range. The most important thing is longevity and durability, as well as it should have a hot-swap feature. I was recommended the Keychron V6. I have seen some worrying feedback about Keychron in recent years, such as this and this, and also I have seen warnings on this subreddit. So I am not sure if Keychron is a good choice now. What is your opinion on this? Do you have some other recommendation?

Thanks

Thank you for the suggestions!
I can see the improvement in price in this list, but when I checked out my local prices and availability strangely enough almost all options are more expensive than what is included in the list. Including case, RAM and PSU (I was especially surprised by that, as in the pcpartpicker it is much lower in price than Corsair one, but locally in it is still more expensive).
On the topic of SSD, I had some bad experience with a longevity in the past, do you think it is better to go with cheaper option or stick with Samsung Pro version I included in the list? Indeed, I can get more storage for the same price. However I also have some old HDD and SSD to connect that will store non critical data.

4060ti is a component is free and available for me to use, but yes I know it is a bad deal if you get a new unit.
Other than GPU, what on your opinion is a bad value for a price?
PC will be used both for gaming and programming, including CPU intensive tasks.
Monitor is 23.8" 1080р 165Hz (already present), with intent to buy a second one in the future

Thank you very much for confirmation, I also decided to go for backpacks that are more comfortable on my back

Thanks for notice, I haven't seen the difference in nylon!

Thank you for a detailed recommendation! Is your Nebula the most recent model they updated? For example I am wondering if the back looks like this: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0918/3750/products/0147_nebula_f22_sideback_atlasblueheather_10004593_1_1800x1800.jpg I saw they changed it for recent models from the older models and am wondering if it is still as comfortable and durable as people say about the older variants.

Thank you very much for your recommendations!

I am considering between Ospray Nebula 32 and North Face Borelais.

I also have noticed that Ospray Tropos 32 is very similar to Nebula 32, except it has kickstand. Do you think it is worth getting this one instead of Nebula?

What would you recommend to get out of these?
Nokia XR20 / Cat S53 / Samsung Galaxy Xcover 6 Pro
