Right now i am looking for a mechanical keyboard where the typing is soft, but same time having that "clicky" feeling.
Seems like Cherry MX keyboards are the way to go? What is a good keyboard on Amazon at $55cad being my max budget?

So I've been looking around on Amazon, and I just want recommendations on a good budget thocky keyboard on Amazon in the $100-130 price range. I looked at the Yunzii AL75, but people seem to have RGB and connection issues with it which is kind of deterring it from me. I'm not saying I WON'T buy the Yunzii but I just want to evaluate my options. Anything else that is pre-lubed and thocky and good for the price?
Hey! I'm looking to get a keyboard on Amazon for under $60, shipping included. Got any good options you’d recommend?
I'm looking for a new keyboard and was wondering if I could get any help with some suggestions. I used to look at keyboards all the time but I'm a little out of the loop and still don't have the best idea. I'd prefer to order something off amazon as it usually has fast shipping (quick shipping time is a huuuuge bonus for me). Here's sort of my wishlist:
Budget: Looking for somewhere around $100 CAD or $150 CAD as my upper end, the lower the better obviously, but I don't mind if I need to go just a tiny bit over.
Size: Looking for a full size keyboard (100%), macro keys are a definite bonus, but not a must.
Aesthetic: Ideally something with a white base, and keycaps, though I can always get more keycaps if necessary. I'd like to maybe get something that's not all-white, but once again, not a dealbreaker.
Switches: I currently love my Cherry MX Brown switches, however they are still a little on the louder side, however now that I'm back home I'd prefer a quieter sound to the keys. I love a creamy keyboard sound that's not loud and clicky (Blues and Greens are a big no)
Looking for a wired keyboard, I've had enough problems with wireless keyboards in the past. Also a keyboard that doesn't require a lot of software to work would be nice, but I do enjoy having that customizability if possible.
RGB: I love a customizable RGB keyboard, and would like something where the keys are individually lit.
Keycaps: I haven't used taller keycaps in a while so I'm still getting a little used to them, but I think I still prefer a lower-profile keycap.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hey guys, I have $500 gift card to Amazon and need some help picking out a new keyboard. Money doesn't really matter so can you guys recommend me the best keyboard on the site? I heard to Ducky and Poker keyboards are pretty great. What do you guys think?
I was looking for a metal 75% keyboard of a cheap price. I heavily considered the montech M-key, however, it does not have a 75% layout and also I think that the green board may not fit with keycaps collection.
I am NOT considering the YUNZII AL66 - I have a friend who has it and they will make fun of my for copying them for months.
my main problem with my RK71 is I want an f row, and the plastic case makes the sound a little loud. I've tried various keycaps and switches, and the sound remains pretty loud.

Context:
So, I recently stumbled across these keyboards on eBay. And, I recognised the brand "Eono" as the Amazon in house brand. Realising this, I felt for below 10 pound I had very little to lose. So I bought one, and to say the very least, I am sort of impressed.
Index:
-First impressions;
-"RGB";
-Switches;
-Closing notes.
First Impressions:
My first impressions are, well. Overall the keycaps themselves are very low quality the RGB doesn't shine through all to well as of course they are not PBT keycaps but at this price I cannot complain. The quality of the plastic itself is not all that bad. It has this metal looking backplate, of course it doesn't feel like metal. The Rubber kick stands are actually quite good. The rubber is stuck on hard, I tried with all my might but that glue is strong and the rubber itself is chuncky, my right stands rubber wasn't glued on properly but most people wouldn't notice as most aren't actively trying to tear it off. The USB C cable that comes in box is not braided but it is decently long. The main thing which impressed me, is that they have a detectable cable, I mean. 10 pound, mechanical with LEDs and a detectable cable. Like, holy shit. That is just amazing bang for your buck, they have also got an on and off switch which leaves me to believe that this is leftover stock or something. It also comes with your basic keycap puller
The user guide has all the basic infomation, but in case you lose it. Or I lose it for that matter lol, I'll write down the important infomation you need:
Shortcut keys:
To change your RGB/LED:
-FN + PGUP;
-FN + HOME;
-FN + INS;
-FN + DEL;
-FN + PDGN;
-To change both the speed and brightness of your keyboard use your arrow keys.
To change your Volume:
-FN + F10;
-FN + F9;
-FN + F11.
To change the video:
-FN + F8;
-FN + F7;
-FN + F6;
-FN + F5.
"RGB" well, LEDs;
It is, on eBay advertised as "RGB" but in actual fact. It is just LED, which is slightly disappointing but given the price. I think I'll let this one slide, and the actual LED modes themselves are actually really decent, most LED keyboards have one breathing mode. Whereas, with this. You have 15 different options. Which is a decent selection, my old RK61 had 16 different RGB options, with 8 different solid colours. So, all considering they got 15 out of one is sort of impressive. And, I can say that they are all for the most part different. The keycaps are ABS so sadly the LEDs don't shine through all to well.
Switches;
(This is the first Blue Switch Keyboard, I have owned. I have only ever had brown and red switches before. My RK61 being brown switches, my Logitech G512 also being their brown switches my Oversteel were red switches and my current daily driver mech the Redragon K621 Horus so I haven't really got anything to compair this too!)
When I popped off the keycap, I read "KRGD" I am afraid I have never heard of that brand before. But, they sound clicky the sound they make is awful, it is like a metallic noise. It has a slight echo as well to it. But, 10 pound is 10 pound and they feel alright very clicky. They look like a Chinese knockoff, of Cherry MX blues which is genuinely kind of funny.
Closing notes;
For below 10 pound, I cannot really complain. It is 100% good value for your money. If it had software, RGB, better keycaps I would happily pay way more for it. And, compaired to the Logitech G213 Razer Cynosa Lite Corsair K55 or other main brand keyboards. Costing 4 times less then other bigger brand companies with mechanical off brand MX switches. It is genuinely impressive.
I’ve been using the same IBuypower keyboard/mouse for 3 years now. They get the job done, but I feel like i’ve gotten so comfortable with them that I don’t remember what an actual good keyboard feels like.
I don’t wanna break the bank on a keyboard, so preferably something under 100$ that I can get reliably on amazon. I don’t play FPS usually, more singleplayer experiences, if it matters at all.
This isn’t a mouse sub, but if anyone also has matching mouses for a keyboard recommendation, or just a general good mouse recommendation, i’d like to hear that too.
Preferences: Full Black/Mostly black, 75-100% (anything between this works), doesn’t need RGB, but will accept any RGB keyboards
I need recommendations for a quality mechanical keyboard that can be bought from Amazon (my budget is determined by a gift card I got for Christmas).
I want a creamy or thocky sound (I'm partial to creamy, but dig them both)
I need 100% layout. I use every key on my current keyboard (software hotkeys, numpad for work, etc.) and I don't want to learn a new layout. I also don't like the idea of a separate numpad.
Must be under $180
Decently heavy board (I don't like my board sliding around my desk)
I want a high quality board that I CAN mod if I want to, but doesn't necessarily need it. Looking for the best out-of-the-box experience I can get with room to upgrade later.
NOTE:
I've looked into the Keychron V6 Max, but I'm not a big fan of the color or style of the board.
I was wondering if anyone here had bought the same keyboard as this one before. I need to know soon so I can cancel the order if it’s no good before it arrives lol
I chose ts one cus it was one of the most highly rated for my budget (I had a 25% discount) and I don’t really have the time to go making one myself after ordering everything separately like I’ve seen some ppl do.
I’m going to wait until payday and then with whatever I have leftover I’m going to buy a better mouse bcs I’m relying on one that was bought off of tiktok shop lol
Over my two years, or so of gaming one of my niche, I spent my money on was mechanical keyboards. This obsession with mechanical keyboards started to happen when I realized that there was more to keyboards than the cheap plastic membrane feels that everyone has once used in their life. However, the problem was that the mechanical keyboards, especially good quality ones cost a lot of money. Being a student in high school at the time with no source of income and saving of few hundred dollars I decided to embark on the journey of buying cheap mechanical keyboards off amazon that was most suitable in the price range and worth it for their value.
If you are like me and are trying to find a mechanical keyboard in the 50-100 dollar range these are my top 5 picks for the keywords that I used that were off amazon. I used each of these keyboards for 3 months min and I still sometimes use them today depending on how I feel. With the keyboards, I will list the pros and cons that come with these keyboards so that you'll be able to find perfect budget keyboards for you!
The ranking of this list is completely random, but I will try to organize it by the best quality and worth for its value
RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Price: $49.99
Link: https://amzn.to/3VbPJSw
This keyboard has gotten a lot of attention over the past couple of years due to its cheap value, but for its quality. To me, this keyboard was personally an all-time favorite. Although the build quality seemed to be all plastic the keycaps and the switches they used were extremely worth it for their value. I got the brown switches and although quiet it was extremely satisfying to use for its smooth actuation and 60% build.Tips: If purchasing I recommend that you either get the blue or the red. Although I had brown it was a little too quiet for my liking.
Pros: The switches that are used are of extremely good quality, 60% with all f1,f2,f3 functions, wireless/wired
Cons: Not hot-squabble (expected for a cheaper build), color ranges are limited (one color only for keyboards for the cheaper ones), limited in the ability to mod the keyboard, comes with only three switch options: blue, brown, red; keycap wiggle is minimum but noticeable in the spacebar (very minimum)
2. GK61 Mechanical Keyboard Price: $49.99
Link: https://amzn.to/41MxRAc
The GK61 is an amazing keyboard that is a little bit more pricey, but worth every single dollar. Similar to the RK Royal the keyboard is 60%, but comes with a little more functionality. The GK61 is most known for its design and quality and is even recommended by Youtubers such as TechSource!
Pros: Amazing build quality and simplistic design of the keyboard, RGB in this keyboard has more variety and has customizable RGB, comes with a software which allows individuals to be able to program specific keys and use macros, crazy, but it comes with a built-in microphone feature to mute and unmutes your mic
Cons: Similar to other cheaper 60% builds the keycaps are a little bit wobbly, but it's not too noticeable to be bothered, only another problem that I noticed was the software for the keyboard in setting up macros is a little bit complcicated.
3. Dierya T63 Price: $39.99
Link: https://amzn.to/3R0cEzy
This keyboard is a little bit complicated in its usage due to its expensive price, but not an as good quality for its worth. However, overall the keyboard for gaming has a unique build to it with showing keycaps, unique keyboard switches, and a more compact and unique keyboard layout design. Personally, I have used this keyboard a lot but would not recommend the keyboard if you are looking for more quality than its usage.
Pros: The T63 comes with a compact design which allows for more keyboard functionality and less usage of space, since the keyboard comes with more key options there are a lot more keyboard shortcuts, but is not that useful in gaming, for its affordable price for $39.99 depending on the customer you are it is either a like it or hate it keyboard, switches of the keyboard are mushier but come with a click
Cons: because there are so many keys the placement of the arrows on the keys are a little bit wacky and is hard to use at times such as writing an essay or just scrolling online, key switches are a little bit cheaper so when pressing hard on the keys you will be able to hear some kind of clinking sound, but it's not that loud
4. Motospeed Wired/Wireless 3.0 Price: $34.99
Link: https://amzn.to/4j1heto
This keyboard is not talked a lot about due to its extremely cheap price of just $49.99, but upon review was really surprised by its quality and build. its sleek design and vibrant RGB colors made this keyboard one of the most appealing keyboard. For the keyboard review, the build quality was amazing and its key switches were extremely satisfying to press
Pros: Amazing light selection, keycap quality is amazing, keyboard build is great, switches depending on the reds were really fun to use, compact 60% with extra key options
Cons: f1 keys were hard to use, little wobble, and a little complication using function keys such as arrows, locks, and caps, quality although good for the price is not the best compared to others, but worth its price! A little bit of clinging
5. Redragon K52 Mechanical Keyboard Price: $48.99
Link: https://amzn.to/3HjoG1S
Overall when talking about a cheap budget mechanical keyboard this is the most popular keyboard that is talked about. With its cheap price, good quality builds, and key switches this keyboard is the most recommended for beginners and budget keyboard!
Pros: Low price, good build quality for its price (aluminum base), best switches of blues, comes with all functions keys, amazing RGB options, *says waterproof, but never tested
Cons: Switches are limited to the only blue for some reason, not hot squabble, USB cable can not be detached, keycaps are a little thin, aesthetics of the keyboard (awkward Logo placement) is not to good
If I were to put this in order of best quality I would have to give it this rating:
RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 (best overall quality for its price)
GK61 Mechanical Keyboard (similar to the RK with more color options, but a little bit more expensive)
Redragon K52 Mechanical Keyboard (the best quality of blues for its cheap price!)
Motospeed Wired/Wireless 3.0 Price (not the best quality build, but for its price good aesthetic and build)
Dierya T63 (not the best compared to the rest of the keyboards on this list, but for some reason was my favorite to use)
Here is my list of the top budget keyboard to use in 2021!
I've been out of touch with the latest MCH Keyboards advances and want to get a new keyboard for around $100. The reason why I say that it gets bonus points if it's easy to find for sale is cause I'm a brazilian abroad on the US, so I have a limited time here to buy stuff.
I've been reading into it and just from what I read, I'd guess my type of switch would be the Brown switches for a balance between working and gaming. I've preferred blues in the past due to the clickiness but I've grown past that now, and would prefer something less noisy.
Anyways, what are your recommendations? I saw a G512 Carbon in a Sam's Club these days for 90 bucks and it seemed pretty good. Anything better than that in the $100 price range?
Keychron makes some pretty good keyboards under $100, available on Amazon. They have many variations - full, TKL, 75%, thin versions (with low-profile switches) - available with generally red, brown, or blue switches. Most of their models have wireless plus wired capability.
I just got my first mech about two weeks ago -- Keychron C2 Full Size Wired Mechanical Keyboard $65 on Amazon.
It's 'hot swappable' meaning you can replace all the switches as needed -- no soldering needed. You can buy it with browns or reds... and then swap in other switches to test them out -- can have everything brown and put blues on the number pad, that sort of thing.
I'm looking for budget keyboards preferably under $100, but max I'm willing to go to is around $130. Maybe it's better if it's built by me? Don't know. But, these are some of the keyboards I've checked out. Are any of them good? If so, which one should I get? Really liking higrounds design, but I heard Glorious is a great brand. If you have other suggestions, please let me know.
Are there any good keyboards on Amazon? (under 300$)
I have a $100 giftcard to Amazon right now, I am really interested in the Poker 2 sized keyboards but the poker 2 is quite expensive on Amazon. I am willing to spend a bit more than $100, but not by much. So what can I get? Thanks guys and I hope to officially join the club soon :)
CM Store QuickFire Rapid is a very popular board, it is Tenkeyless, but not a 60% board. [Here is the link] (http://www.amazon.com/Storm-QuickFire-Rapid-Tenkeyless-Mechanical/dp/B0068INSUM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1410731074&sr=8-3&keywords=mechanical+keyboard )
Corsair K70 Full size keyboard, it's a very nice build quality, but this isn't the RGB model [Here is the link] (http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B00IVEGSIA/ref=sr_1_1_m?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1410731192&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+k70)
Corsair k65, it's also nice quality, again it it Tenkeyless, but not RGB. Here is the link
There are others, I'm just giving you a few.
In amazon there are no 60% that ive seen that are under 100$ so the next u could get is this its a 10keyless that has really good reviews. http://www.amazon.com/Storm-QuickFire-Rapid-Tenkeyless-Mechanical/dp/B0068INSUM/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1410731135&sr=8-12&keywords=mechanical+keyboards
So I know absolutely nothing about keyboards and I would just get him a replacement of his current one but that one was also a past gift from me and I did almost zero research on it. It's not a bad keyboard but the pad peels when you leave you arm on it. He doesn't like mechanical or at least keyboards that are obnoxiously loud. I'll attach a photo of his current one but please give me suggestions. Budget is about 150, absolute max is 200 but it's gotta be REAL good for that price.
I need the pros to help me figure out if this is a good keyboard I found it on Amazon for 100 bucks. I really wanted a custom keyboard but I wasn’t going to spend over 100.
