Tried googling that? There are some keyboards matching these unspecific criteria.
I got myself a Keychron K1 Pro. It's a TKL with all the other things you're looking for.
Yes. I did try googling that. All I can find for keychron are either low profile or full size.
Keychron K6 is 60%, hot-swap, RGB, wireless, VIA compatible, ISO.
Keychain V1 (75%) Max. Really enjoying the Jupiter Banana switches. Best sounding keyboard I own even over my Q6 with Box Whites. Both Bluetooth and 2.4 ghz. Also V2 Max (65%) and V3 Max (80%) too. www.keychron.com/products/keychron-v1-max-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard
It's almost perfect, except I really want ISO. I tried the Mars switches, and I'm not a huge fan. So far my favorite are the Redragon Bullet-QT Lime. I even just received some Zeal Zilent V2 78gs today, and they're a close second, but I still like the Limes better!
Keychron has ISO variant of nearly all their boards. Go for either V or Q series boards. Avoid K. Also screw RGB.

You’re looking for Keychron K2 Pro
That's my daily. I like it enough that I bought a case and pack it when I travel for work.
Looks like the Q1 Pro also fits the bill. What are your thoughts on pros and cons between the two?
Yes Q1 fits the bill as well. Pro of the Q1 is metal chassis. Con is wired only, no Bluetooth. I have the Original K2 v1 and I it’s still my daily driver.
The Q series used to be wired only. The new Q Pro series are wireless.
I use a Q6 at home and love it. I bought a k12 for work, and while its great its much noisier than the Q.
So im currently using a wired Filco at work. Which is nice, and quieter than the k12 (even tho both have silent reds).
I havent used Keychron wirelessly, so cant comment.
And I had to update the firmware to be able to use VIA, which involved a program and some scary messages. But it was straightforward.
If you have the budget for a Q Pro, then go for it. I love my Q, so I doubt you will regret it
Check out keychrons q series boards.
Keychron K3 Max
Unfortunately I don't want low profile
Keychron V1 if you're willing to compromise on wireless for a bargain.
