I bought the Womier RD75 Pro a couple of months ago, and although It's been great as a first "real" mechanical keyboard for me, the switches are very slightly scratchy, and even though I almost never notice it, I would like a slightly more premium typing experience. I'm trying not to go over 50 dollars for a set of switches for it, any recommendations?

And while I'm at it, have any of you bought this keyboard as well?

I have a Womier SK75, it came with mint blizzard switches I believe. Incredibly scratchy, absolutely unusable.

I swapped mine with Akko Rosewoods, they are so much better. I can recommend any Akko switch, depending on your preference, as they are generally pretty good and usually easily attainable (you can usually find them on amazon).

Another Akko switch I tried is the Botany: similar feel to the rosewood, a bit crispier and clackier compared to the almost soft feel of the Rosewoods.

This might sound stupid but I'm new to the hobby. how are akkos compared to gateron? cause gateron is what I frequently see recommended, and they do have budget options

I don't have huge personal experience with gateron, but yes they do have a good reputation and I think they might be another good option.

Honestly if your womier switches are as bad as mine, anything will be a huge improvement.
