Looking for a quality Mechanical Keyboard under 100$

Currently using a G.Skill KM780 RGB Keyboard I've had it for about 2-3 years. It started falling apart at around the 2 year mark (convienantly when the warranty expired ?).

 

  • The RGB on the 10-key is dim or completely dead, this happened about a year after I got it, but wasnt going to rma for some wonky RGB
  • The 'C' Key completely died last year (right after the warranty expired), swapped it with a macro key. And that worked for about 6 months.
  • Other keys are now displaying odd behavior, some keys repeat randomly when typed, others dont respond at times, and sometimes i get random letters thrown in while typing.
  • These issues persist despite cleaning it multiple times, even after a full teardown, blowing it out with an air compressor, hitting every key with contact cleaner, and letting it sit for a few days. (I just reassembled it before posting this, and its still buggy af)

 

 

I've been looking for a new full-sized mechanical keyboard to replace it, but I need something reliable that wont start falling apart when the warranty expires.

I use Corsair K70s.

I usually get them on sale for around $80.
