Budget mechanical keyboard

Hey all. 

 

I've never had mechanical keyboard in my entire life and I think it's time to finally get one. 

 

My budget is around 70€ or 80$. I am from Croatia so have that in mind. 

 

The keyboard must be standard keyboard 104 including numpad. There should be multimedia keys, seperated or combined with F keys. The more colors the better, full RGB would be great. Wrist rest is mandatory. 

 

After researching my favourites are Redragon Kala K557 and Gamdias Hermes P1 RGB, but I would like to hear other suggestions. 

 

Here is the link with keyboards offer from most of IT stores in Croatia.

Make sure you test the switch types before you buy. They're very different, and you can't research online which is best for you; it has to be by feel.

Check out the keyboards in a store before you buy one. For example, many people like Romer-G's (Logitech mechanical switch) while I dislike them. It's hard to recommend something before you try your options out.

That Razer keyboard is not even mechanical? It uses membrane switches or I am wrong. As for Masterkeys, they are not what I am looking for and they are too expensive for what they offer.

I fear this could be a problem, since I never had mechanical keyboard. 

 

Logitech G213 Prodigy, I was hyped at first, but after watching videos and reading people comments, idk really. Its not fully mechanical and i am now meh about the keyboard

You have to try them out in a store or order a switch tester. 

 

The G213 is not mechanical at all. Never believe "partially mechanical" or "memchanical"- they are just unnecessarily loud and overpriced membrane keyboards.
