Hi
My current keyboard is really old and its membrane, so I decided to buy a new one. I chose this model.
I have a few questions.
1. In this budget range and price range, what other keyboards can I buy and are they popular among users?
2. What issues might this keyboard have?
3. Which switch should I choose for gaming? Red?
Also, another question: if I increase my budget by 30%, what would be the next option?

Reddragon Switches are quite questionable, but purchasing the Reddragon and allocating 30% of your budget to Amazon will get you OUTEMO. The brand is important, as Rd keyboards have small sockets. Although the switches included with Reddragon aren't ideal, the keyboard frames are decent. You should try a switch sampler or tester to find your preference. Personally, I prefer Red switches; Silver feels too sensitive and Black is better for serious work or gaming.

The RedDragon keyboard is fine, just the switch needs to be replaced with a proper EUTEMO switch.

I've been using my Redragon K552 keyboard since 2016, I only ever took it apart and cleaned it, just added a little oil to the keys. I don't have any issues at all—though mine aren't RGB, they have static red. I bought another one for my aunt two years ago, she types a lot and it's been great for the price. It's up to you, but many Redragon keyboards have been pretty solid overall.

It's a matter of preference, but using different number formats makes the Rd switches feel rougher than they should be.
In my view, yes. The standard switches are okay but not great.

I have K552 Pro RGB with the red Outemu switch and I really like it. My last keyboard was Logitech G413 with that
<Mod Edit>
Rumer-G switch. The K552 switch is definitely better.
Cons:
The software is bad. You can just personalize the lighting and create basic macros.
Feels cheaper than Logitech and Razer. (which is)
Buy red and go for it. The red switch kinda feels thocky and there is no click sound. Also not mushy like Rumer-G.

Oh yeah, I recall what happened. The keyboard I received came with blues and I swapped them out for reds. The reds still feel like poop.
The chassis is great, but the switches are not great either.
