Looking for a keyboard (sh.itjust.works)

It's a sad day: My previous mechanical keyboard more/less died. Multiple keys just stopped working and even upon replacing them with new switches: still dead.

So anyways I'm looking for a keyboard with some specific features:

Anyone know of one that is:

full size (extra macro keys would be a bonus!)
rgb backlit
has at least one usb port on it (so it has a builtin hub of sorts) Super bonus if it also has a type c passthrough port.
user-swapable cherry-mx compatible switches. (bonus if it comes with browns)
bonus points if it can run open-source firmware
bonus points if it has a volume spinner-thing

I know its asking a bunch, but hey if someone has seen one of these, or has ideas: let me know.

Budget: idk, but I'd be willing to pay probably $200 ish if it was a perfect match and seemed legit.

Thanks in advance

When your online profile says you're a 'passionate bear looking for love,' you get a lot of wrong responses. Well not wrong, wrong for me.
