I think the Keychron V6 Max might be right up your alley.

It meets all of your requirements (100% layout, back light, quiet depending on your switches).

It’s also hotswapable so very beginner friendly when you’re trying to find switches you like. Here’s a sound test of all 3 switch options for the Keychron V6. There’s not a huge difference to me but I’m also just on mobile right now. With your budget you can also choose to try other switches too. You can use the stock switches as a starting point to see what type of switch best fits your needs. For example, note the force used to actuate (activate) the switch. If it feels too light, find a switch that has a higher force. Videos can help to identify which sound nice but keep in mind that the keyboard will also impact the sound.

Lastly the V6 can be used via Bluetooth or wireless USB for a cleaner look. I didn’t see gaming as a requirement so the lower latency over wireless connection should be fine.

There are other Keychron keyboards too if you want other options. The Q6 is very similar but is entirely made of metal, thus increasing the cost to $205 for a fully assembled board. Hippyo has an informative video on building and modding a custom keyboard using the Keychron Q6 as a base model.

Reminds me of this exchange between Leslie and Ann from Parks and Rec.

Fair enough. This community has been quiet

OP is making the classic mistake of form over function. The colorful backgrounds of the top license plates look nice in photos but they make it more difficult to read a license plate number on a moving vehicle.

Since design should take function into consideration, I think some of the more esthetically pleasing plates, at least according to OP, would be considered to have poor design.

Sure the plain plates are a little boring but I’d rather have a boring, easily legible plate than a pretty, indecipherable one any day.

About 5 months ago I ordered this clock and it is still working fine now. It’s definitely cheaper than the listed price (it’s just cardboard and the clock motor) but it’s absolutely silent and it makes me smile every time I see it.

I also bought a lot of cute clothes for my dog for under like $5 each outfit so that’s really nice.

It’s not out yet but Marvel Rivals looks like it may be a good fit. Hopefully they’ll announce the release date soon now that the closed beta is over.

Homer buys Lisa a cheap animated video for her birthday. The scene is from the video.

Lisa gets upset, though, because the video proves that Homer knew absolutely nothing about her.

He then hires a PI to spy on her to find out more about her. Shenanigans ensue

Edit: Found the clip
