looking for TKL/60% afor $80 or less

XDMAN123

What Im looking for is a keyboard thats TKL or 60% or anything in between for $80 or less with linear switches, Im currently looking at the magicforce 68 with gateron reds https://www.amazon.com/Qisan-Mechanical-Keyboard-GATERON-Magicforce/dp/B01E57PXKA/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=gateron+red&qid=1558587028&s=gateway&sr=8-3 

and the K65 lux with cherry reds https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-K65-Compact-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B01F74F00I/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=k65+red&qid=1558587336&s=gateway&sr=8-2

I know that gaterons are smoother than cherries but I dont think that would have a huge impact as Im gonna only be using this keyboard for gaming, anyway if you know a good keyboard with what Im looking for then help will greaty be appreciated

I think the Magicforce is a good option. There are not many 60% for cheaper.  If you want a TKL you can get a Red Draggon between $40 and $50.

why the magicforce over the k65?

I think those are out of his budget at around $100.

What about Ducky One 2 Mini?

 

I really like this keyboard since it's already great right out of the box compared to its price.

 

I'm still lurking the GMK Uniqey C70 tho, but I see a little chance that I would get it despite its awesomeness, because I already used to the 60% size without having dedicated arrow keys. My brain has memorized how to use the Ducky One 2 Mini arrow keys on the second layer, and so far I'm very happy with it and I really love it.. I don't like RGB inside a PC but I found that I like to have RGB on a keyboard, and the RGB features on this one it's just lovely..

Very good value 60% mechanical keyboard. The Ducky One 2 Mini is much more than enough for me. The specs are awesome, even its frames and body are made of plastic, but it's really well built.
