I recently bought a used cheapy 67% mech keyboard and its been my favorite computer upgrade in a LONG time. I love it...
I think I'm gonna go down the rabbit-hole as I prefer having F-keys; a 75% layout looks perfect to me. You don't have to spend $200+ anymore to get a really great mech keyboard, but I'm interested in something a little more premium to get away from the all plastic housing.
Buying used was neat in my experience, too, because the guy put a cool set of caps on AND had re-greased the keys and showed me how/told me a bit about how to spruce up even the cheaper modular keyboard hardware.
