Cheap Aura compatable mechanical keyboard?

[Retro_R]

So, I've been looking at aura compatible mechanical keyboards and I've only been able to see ROGs keyboards but they were way to expensive for me so I decided to give up. However, recently, I stumbled across a cooler master (mk750) keyboard that had some reddit posts about how it maybe getting aura sync functionality or something, and those were made a year ago so idk. Anyway, is there any way to get a mechanical keyboard that works with aura for under $100 (usd)? I'm willing to use a software/unofficial way that will make the keyboard work with aura. I just want full rgb consistancy.

Give the Asus TUF K5 a look, It's 89 AUD (Which, to my calculations, is around $50 US) It's not mechanical, tho.....

But if you want to splurge a little, and get a Mech keyboard, then Go for the TUF K7.

 

Here's some PCCG links, I think they ship worldwide

The TUF K7 is just as expensive than the rog model. Also, I want full mechanical, don't wanna spend a ton just for memchanical.

Then I'd say you're out of luck, I'm afraid.

Asus products are not very cheap, If you want anything cheaper, I'd go with the cooler master and try to make it work. I have no idea about the compatibility. Might have to just take a leap of faith.

Optical Mechanical is still mechanical, should feel something similar to MX Reds, slightly harder.
