Hi guys, I'm looking for a new mechanical keyboard that I can do my school work with and also game with. Right now I'm looking at the Logitech G Pro Keyboard, as well as the Ducky One 2 TKL. What do you guys suggest, and do you have any other options that you like and why? (I don't really care about the difference in switches as long as it is comfortable to type on (has to be mechanical and RGB of course) and is TKL and under the price of around $100) Thank you for your help!

I just got a "Redragon K551" for work, its pretty nice for 30 bucks Link. They have an RGB model. The keyboard is low end, but it doesn't suck.

If you are going for the Logitech G Pro keyboard (Which is unlikely to be less than $100 at least where I'm at) you should get the newer version the Logitech G Pro X since its basically the same keyboard but with swappable switches. The Romer-G switches is quite fragile if you game hard with it, and I had my G413 fail on me after just 9 months of usage.

 

Edit : I'm currently using the Tecware phantom 87. It's quite great but I would recommend you to actually change all the switches to gaterons or anything thats not outemu since they're kinda crap. https://www.amazon.com/Tecware-Phantom-Mechanical-Keyboard-Outemu/dp/B079HTZQYV

Well it may depend on the usage. My G413 had 2 switches with broken stems.

Well my problem is with the keycap stems, they broke pretty easily. Considering what I use them for.

 

Edit: the keyboard also started chattering a few days ago, which is why Im switching to a brand new keyboard :/ might just be an issue with mine

Well they broke quite easily when you use them to farm on rhythm games. By that I mean "Osu"

Dont know wtf a rhythm game is. My Keayboard works for years in heavy constant gaming. Nothing left to say.
