TLDR: is anything out there like the Epomaker AULA F75 but with stiffer (just enough to prevent accidental presses, the F75 is too soft for me, any switch or type is fine as long as it's reliable and does the job) keys, maybe a little quieter (I don't mind the sound of the F75, it's just a tiny bit louder then what I'd like), backlit keycaps (no idea why the F75 doesn't have that considering it has really bright RGB, makes it hard to work with in dim lighting...), and maybe a few small improvements here and there if possible? With a reasonable budget friendly price? Or is trying to tinker with it or getting used to it worth it? Thx.

Also am totally fine with refurbished/used/older stuff as long as it's tested and not broken or anything.

FYI: I'm not a keyboard hobbyist or anything, really overwhelmed by all the info and stuff out there about all of this, I just want a good all rounder 75 size that also looks and feels nice without having to sell my kidney.

but with stiffer

You could get Tactile Switches

keys, maybe a little quieter

Buy silent tactile switches then

backlit keycaps

Been there, done that, buy some Shinethrough keycaps

With a reasonable budget friendly price?

If you like the aula that much, and dont want to look at the other like 50 Keyboards from Epomaker (Or aula or ajazz themselves) just buy a stripped down aula and the keycaps you would want
