best mechanical keyboard under 150 - need a solid gift for my bf

been lurking r/mechanicalkeyboards for way too long and i'm still completely lost lol. want to surprise my boyfriend with a decent board but there's like a million options and everyone has different opinions. he mostly games and does some coding, looking for something that:

* stays under $150 including shipping

* wireless - he's always complaining about cable mess on his desk

* hot swappable switches would be cool so he can mess around with it later

* doesn't need a numpad but having a volume knob would be sick

* clean looking - his whole setup is white/grey so no rainbow gamer stuff

i've been reading about keychron, akko, lofree, gmmk and like 50 other brands but honestly it's overwhelming. if you've actually used something for more than a few weeks and it didn't break or start annoying you, let me know what you think. also curious what drove you crazy about boards you returned.

thanks for any help
