"Basic" keyboard suggestions? To replace SteelSeries 6gv2 (feddit.dk)

I've long had a SteelSeries 6gv2 and it has served me well but I want to replace it.

I like the keyboard a lot because it has quite a basic design with no fancy colors and no RGB. However I find it really difficult to find a replacement - all the keyboards I find are full of "gamer" RGB lights and red WASD keys and all kinds of other (to me) annoying/distracting design elements.

Where would I find something similar today?

Basic design, ideally just all black color with white text.
100% or ideally TKL.
No RGB or "gamer" stuff.
Cherry MX Black switches or similar.
Need to support Nordic (Danish) layout.

If we're just trying to keep it simple with a single, reputable vendor:

Keychron v3 barebones TKL
White on Black "OSA" keycaps, which look "swoopy" and modernly retro, but mostly feel like regular OEM on your SteelSeries
Gateron Black switches.

EDIT: Nordic makes it a little more expensive at Keychron and with fewer options, but it's still doable. If you get one that's QMK compatible, any ISO can be Nordic, and you just need to source keycaps, which they do have though I don't see them in white on black.
