You said cheap but didn't really specify a budget, also you didn't say what you wanted in terms of features so here are my thoughts with the information at hand. 

 

Literally ANY mechanical keyboard you could afford would probably be okay for you. really mechanical boards are brilliant. 

 

Sharkoon make some pretty reasonable keyboards for very few pennys. they are on amazon and start from about £30 but Gigabytes range of gaming peripherals are pretty cheap and quite good for the money too. other than that, any keyboard with anti-ghosting should be okay with gaming, i have a buddy who swears by an old DELL board he has (its looks pants to me but he likes it a lot) so its all subjective really. 

 

Throw us some links to boards your looking at im sure some one will have some feedback for you. 

Ok so i game at night a lot, so its good for it to have leds, and im looking for the price to be about ~$70, ill spend a little more if its worth, i need it to be durable, cuz i tend to drop my keyboard... a lot. Umm i haven't looked at all because im not sure what is considered really good.

you wont find a mechanical keyboard for $70. Corsair quickfire TK would be closest to you in the price range. It'd be worth spending the extra money on that.
