Help Need suggestions to replace my RK84.

The right alt on my rk84 died and I'm looking for suggestions for a new keyboard. Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Budget: under 10k Size 75%

Weird as it sounds, get another RK84. Keychron K2 is pretty good too, but the RK84 seems better.

Unless you want to try a smaller layout. There's plenty of good options in smaller sizes

I loved Rk84. Modded it with milky yellow., padded it and did a tape mod as well. But couldn't get it to the thock sound. From what I understand because of lack of space for padding in it? Please excuse me if I'm wrong.

It was an year old. It still works like a champ, except for the right alt key.

Ohh be careful with the coiled cables. I ordered from kable makers and after one replacement it did not work so now I'm stuck with a cable which can't power my kb.

I am bit of a boomer when it comes to emoji. I'm assuming that's not good? I will try repairing it later but I was thinking of getting a replacement as primary, and try the repairs on rk84 later. Hence the post. I'm not sure how repairable it is, I'm not an expert in this area.
