are budget cherry mx red keyboards a thing?

[Korepavore]

seems like everywhere i look, they cost over 100 dollars or around that at least. i need something that will get me by for a first time keyboard, as i will be playing first person shooters mainly. any recommendations? personal experiences?

nope, mechanical keyboards are expensive.

 

Cheapest mechanical keyboard is the Thermaltake Posideon Z. It has Cherry MX Blue's though.

Decide on the switch you want and go all out the first time. The keyboard will last you yeeeeaaars and there is absolutely no way you will regret it.

Mechanical keyboards are expensive. You'll be hard pressed to find a decent one for less than around $70-80. CMStorm have some cheaper boards, or you can look at some brands that don't use Cherry switches (like Razer, but there are cheaper, less well known brands. Not great quality though)

Mechanical checked, Cherry MX Red checked, price cap $100 checked.

I would recommend Corsair K65 as I'm using one right now, other alternative is CM QuickFire.

It's kinda expensive, but I LOVE my CM Storm Quickfire Rapid. Build quality is awesome, and it's a great first mechanical keyboard (it is my first, although I have used some others). The only problem is the keycaps wear out quickly.

8/8 would recommend m8

This man is how I work. I may sound like a keyboard genius all the time but, in reality, PCPartPicker is my resource for cheap keyboards

The steelseries 6gv2 is an amazing keyboard. Kinda sad it doesn't come in brown switches though. Then it would be the perfect keyboard.

You might have trouble finding full size mechanical keyboards for under $100. TKL keyboards should cost less.
