I have a wired FL-Esports FL-980, which I love at the price I paid ($45 "used" board on Amazon + $15 aliexpress keycaps + $30 switches). Even if I hadn't sprung for the keycaps or switches, it came with Kailh Box Whites (same as this 8bitdo IIRC) and some decent double-shot PBT Dolch keycaps (if a little thin) in Cherry profile. They make a wireless, but I'm not sure I love it as much at 2x or 3x the price of my bargain basement board. The basic types you're looking for are called "96%" or "1800" though.
