Hello, just checking in. I have GMMK Kailh switches (Purple). What board would work well with them while staying within a budget?

Not certain about the query.
Typically you'd have a keyboard and be searching for matching switches.
I looked up the switches and discovered the following link:
https://www.gloriousgaming.com/products/...x-switches
The page states compatibility with GMMK and GMMK PRO.
It asks whether there are requirements to use these switches with other keyboard brands, such as Box, Spring, or Pro switches, etc. More details would be helpful.

As mentioned, these are Kailh MX switches designed for 3-pin configurations. They should function on any hot-swappable PCB board that accommodates standard switches, excluding low-profile or optical models. Regarding a budget-friendly mechanical keyboard, we'll need additional details about your budget, including keycap considerations. Unless you're aiming to swap out your existing switches entirely, as long as they aren't optical or low-profile, compatibility with 3-pin is generally assured by most boards.
