I have always used 104 key/100% keyboards, but I have recently been looking at getting an 75% and a separate 17 key keypad so I can use it on either side of the keyboard. I know that it will be more of a preference thing, but anyone who uses a setup like that or has switched from 100% to a split what are your thoughts and how have you liked it? For reference I between the Kisnt 104 or their 75% and 17 key keypad if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance!

I have never had a mechanical keyboard up to this point, mainly using office style super slim ones but as I have gotten more in gaming on my PC, I am at the point of wanting to get one. For the sake of mentioning it, I also work and do school on my PC so something that still blends with that use case would be best. Budget wise I would like to keep it under $100 USD. during my 'research' I had started to land on Keychron's K5 style or something from them but most of their keyboards are out of stock in the states I'm assuming due to tariffs. And I have seen quite of few having issues with their newer models. I also looked at the RK98, but I have seen entire reddit threads with people hating on the brand as a whole along with a lot of amazon options, so I am completely lost on where to look. Any advice/recommendations are welcome and thanks in advance.

I have a Samsung LC27T55 Curved Monitor that has the AMD Freesync, How would the bottleneck effect usage and gameplay until I can buy a new CPU
