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?
Videos
This is my first time buying one, so I am a little confused about which brands I need to consider. The maximum I am willing to spend is $100.The lower the better - but quality matters too of course. I'd love it if the keyboard has RGB lighting and will not die on me within a couple of years. Ergonomics is important too. Any suggestions on a really good budget gaming keyboard, which is also ergonomic and will last me a long time? And should I prioritize mechanical switches right away, or is it okay to start with something cheaper and upgrade later?
Edit: Thanks for all the reccomendations. I decided to go for this wireless one by steelseries. Mainly because of the 60% size. It is working great so far - will update after a few months on long term performance
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?
I'm building my very first PC soon and I want a good keyboard that's I can play any game on. I don't need the best of the best like the Wooting 60he or something. Just something that I can become a really good player on if I put the time in.
It's really easy to find mouse recommendations when you have channels like (boardzy) on youtube. But for keyboards, it doesn't seem to be as easy. I'm always seeing different recommendations so I never know what is actually the best bang for my buck.
I perfer to spend around $50. I can go higher if it's really worth it.
I have never owned a computer or really even a laptop so I have 0 experience using keyboards. So I don't have any specific needs. I just want a good keyboard that will get the job done. Once I actually learn how to play games on keyboard & mouse, I will then upgrade to a high end gaming keyboard.
im buying a new pc soon and so i need a new keyboard too but i dont want to spend too much. Is there a better keyboard for 20$ than the mad60he? Ive heard its bad but not why its bad and no one said any better alternative (id like something around the 20-35 dollars price range)
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 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.

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’m looking for a good gaming keyboard in low budget, my budget is between 70 and 120 dollars, but in my country everything is something like 2x the cost in the US, I don’t really know much about keyboards so i came here
I bought a $15 mechanical keyboard for my first build because I wasn't sure if this was something I would really get in to. Well, a complete rebuild later it's definitely time for an upgrade. I'm just not sure I want to spend $150 plus on a keyboard. I'm looking for suggestions for a budget to mid range keyboard. TIA!
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.
EPOMAKER Galaxy100 QMK/VIA Wireless Gaming Keyboard, Aluminum Shell, Bluetooth/2.4Ghz/USB-C, Pre-Lubed Hot-Swappable Linear Switches, NKRO, RGB Backlit (Creamy White, Wisteria Linear Switch) https://a.co/d/7QC5qIE
I thought this would be a good place to ask. I don't really care much about processing speed or how it sounds as long as it's not super loud or slow. I use a laptop but I put it up on a stand so I need a separate keyboard to use it more comfortably. I bought the UBOTIE colorful wireless one about a year ago for $40 off Amazon and I knew since it was cheap it wouldn't be the best or last for years. but a couple months ago the USB connector just straight up fell apart on its own, and their costumer service is basically unreachable when I tried to get in contact to get a replacement part, so I'd prefer not to buy from them again. Anything under around $50 is good, although I'd be nice if it had a similar look to the UBOTIE, colorful and not too bulky. Thanks!
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.
Hi I’m just getting into the world of gaming and want to know which keyboards are good. My budget is around 100€
What's the best $60 keyboard on Amazon? I won a gift card. Mainly looking for 75% or less, no clicky switches.
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.
Hello, I have recently been interested in buying a keyboard for gaming (mechanical). I have done a bit of research and a lot of people have been saying good things about the Aulu F 75. My only concern with this keyboard is that it might be more of a typing keyboard than a keyboard that is good for gaming, is the true? if anyone has any good suggestions for a good keyboard for gaming under €100 it would be much appreciated.
I mostly play games like rainbow six siege, call of duty, Fortnite and Marvel rivals.
My preferred sizes for the keyboard would be anything that is 75% and under because I am short on desk space.
(If the aulu is a good gaming option i would be choosing it.)
Thanks.
I'm getting my first-ever PC so I will need a good keyboard and mouse. Got any advice?
