Friend got a cheapie on sale, US$7.50 give or take a few cents. Bog standard 104 keyboard, Ducky-like clone, and came with Cherry Reds and PBT keycaps. Nothing significantly good but the overall build and feel were easily better than quite a few keyboards at 5-7x the price.

Can’t really go wrong with that, if you like it, go for it!

Keychrons are nice at the US$100 budget, but if you go really cheap there are some bargains to be had. Akko makes some nice stuff, and the Chinese ecommerce sites are swamped with decent stuff that goes on sale at various times.

You mean Keychron right? Your autocorrect kinda messed it up for you.

Never went wrong with a Brother laser printer.

You’ll need to find what switches are being used then find keycaps that match. Eg low-profile gateron keycaps. Low-profile switches aren’t standardised like normal-height keyswitches are so you’ll need to be more specific in your search and you’ll have to make do with less options.

Cheap huge bump tactile represent here: Jwick or JWK T1s. Might have to spend more to get the smoke grey version which has a transparent housing if you want the backlight to shine through.

Also to everyone creating a community, it takes time. Don’t get too discouraged if uptake is slow!
