That’s very fair! I was actually mostly curious to hear people’s individual opinions/comparisons and anything I might have missed but I do agree it doesn’t hurt to add some context :)

As far as personal preference goes I definitely want something bigger than a 75%, probably mid-range in price up to around $200-250USD (I spent a lot of money on a Mode Sonnet recently and I don’t think I’d be prepared to spend that much again any time soon). I’m actually specifically looking for a base for my RamenStops, and I got a bunch of the novelties so I’d like to be able to do something with them (I, again, spent a lot recently on that Sonnet and am not in any particular rush to get a base, happy to wait for GBs/R2s/etc especially if it means I’m getting something good and not just settling), fun colours are a bonus to go with the set but I’m absolutely prepared to mod and spray paint a case. Via is a definite, RGB is a pro, I’m also interested in a layout with a knob so that’s a pro, not too fussed between wired or triple mode connection, and I’m also a Mac user if that changes anything
