I've been lurking here for a while and I'm in love with the 70% build. What companies have a good representation for smaller keyboards?

Hey everyone!
I’m in the market for a 65% or 75% keyboard strictly for gaming. I already have a Logitech MX Keys for work and daily use, so this board would be my secondary keyboard focused on gaming performance.
Because of that, low latency is a must — the Logitech has noticeable input lag and just doesn’t cut it for fast-paced games. I want something snappy and responsive.
My budget is around $80, but I can stretch it to $100 if there’s something really worth it.
That said, it would be a nice bonus if the keyboard is also at least decent for typing — nothing too mushy or fatiguing if I need to use it for casual writing or chat between games.
There are tons of options out there and I’m honestly overwhelmed trying to decide.
If you were in my shoes, what would be your top 3 picks for this kind of use?
Thanks a lot !
Drop any and every 75% keeb you know and why you love it. Whether that may be below $100, around $250, or over $500, I don't mind. I also don't care if it is barebones or comes fully built. I can also mod, so if it needs tweaks, just mention it. Don't think about switches, that's another can of worms to talk about, unless you have one that you really take pride in to share. It would be nice though if it had a knob or whatever extra I could use to personalize my experience with it. It needs to have the function row and can be wired and wireless, that's non-negotiable for me.
For the last 6 months, I have been meaning to upgrade my basic ass Royal Kludge that I have modded as much as I can to get it to be the best that I can have it. And I am actually really happy with it. Though I am still itching to get something better. More premium feeling. Smoother. Generally better quality and maybe even good resale value.
I want to know what's in the market right now and what might come out within the next couple of months.
