There is basicly no brown switch/brown clone in the price range of under 50$. Belive me, i spent quite some time looking for one before. You 100% need to go with blue or red. I recoment the Rantonpad Mxx

There is only this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keyboard-Mechanical-Backlit-68-Keys-Qisan/dp/B018NJ4FIC cherry brown switches, backlit. 6 bucks over budget, but there aren't any options besides this one.

Hmmm, Sadly your gonna be extremely lucky or your gonna have to go used to find browns for that cheap. Blues are significantly easier to find. If you must get browns then get em used I suppose

If you can pony another 30$ somehow the Logitech g610 is super awesome imo. 

 

If not and willing to settle for non cherries, I hear the red dragon are pretty good but I personally have the 25$ aukey mechanical keyboard which is so well built that it could be used as a blunt instrument.
