If you wanted a keyboard that had everything you needed, and you could change everything in it, you should look at the Womier RD75. I have already reviewed the Womier SK75, and both of these are keyboards that are customizable and easy to mod.
Review
The Womier RD75 is one of the best beginner options right now, and it is also a very good-budget keyboard. As of now, this keyboard is a Kickstarter and retails for $89. If you pre-order the Womier RD75, you will receive it in November. What’s impressive is that Womier looked at some of the budget keyboards released recently, and they solved the problems that users had reported with these keyboards with the RD75.
The Womier RD75 is a 75% keyboard, it has 4 color options, and it is a pre-built keyboard. It is gasket-mounted and has a CNC Aluminum case. The board’s build quality is impressive, but the frame that detaches from the board doesn’t feel that sturdy.
The keyboard has double-shot PBT keycaps, and the switches are smooth and are on the quieter side. However, Womier lets you choose between only 2 switches for this keyboard, which limits the possibilities for customizing your switches. The plate-mounted stabilizers are decent and come pre-lubed, and they feel better than PCB mounts.
The keyboard also supports VIA, a software that lets you program the keys and macros of your keyboard. The RGB is non-existent, you can’t really see it unless you are looking directly at the key, and it only looks good with darker keycaps.
The Womier RD75 uses magnet mounts, which help you take apart the keyboard in seconds. The plate and PCB aren’t connected with any screws, which makes this keyboard more easy to customize. You can figure out your preference, whether you want more foam, and if you want mods. You can easily experiment with the Womier RD75 to get your desired keyboard.

Verdict
The Womier RD75 is a very good budget customizable keyboard. Its case is made from good-quality Aluminum, and the switches feel good when typing. The only downside is that you have to wait until November for it to be shipped, and there still could be delays. If you’re okay with that, then you should join the Kickstarter. If you need a keyboard like this right now, then you should get the Chilkey ND75, which is a very similar keyboard to the Womier RD75.
