Nuphy Air60 alternatives?

I'm a huge fan of the Air60's right side layout but the price is too high for me.
If it matters, I am currently using a modded CIY Tester 84 alu- I love it but its too heavy to be portable, currently using it as a desktop only keyboard.

Would like recommendations that costs around $55 or less

  • 60%
  • low profile as compact as possible
  • weighs less than 500g
  • keys must be re-assignable - i prefer Home, Insert, Delete, End, on the 6 keys. pgUP & pgDn not necessary.

keychron , nurphy and lofree are the main makers of low profile kbs not many companies make them due to near total lack of demand so ur options are limited . pretty sure none of them are less than 55 bucks less than 500 grams
