Any specific recommendations?
I'd advise looking into a cheap, older mechanical option as best you can and cleaning it up yourself. If you want it to last you're better off investing either that time or that money into one to really make it count. Ergo boards are less in demand than a standard keyboard so they'll tend more expensive but they'll pay your hands back kindly
If you're willing to shoot a bit over the $100 budget listed on the post, "Alice style" mechanical keyboards are getting quite popular. Here's a cheaper option but certainly not the best, might be worth some research https://en.akkogear.com/product/acr-pro-alice-plus-mechanical-keyboard/
