Buy a used keyboard on ebay? (maybe not the best idea, but if you're buying a new mechanical keyboard with plenty of features, expect a high price)

 

Try to save up some more money and buy the keyboard you want.

That's not really cheap but anyways. You could look at the Quick Fire range from CM Storm or some of the Ducky keyboards, sorry I can't give you specifics.

CM Storm Quickfire is a fine choice. You have choice of three different layouts:

Rapid is a ten-keyless layout, but has only limited back-lighting.

XT is a full layout keyboard but without back-lighting.

Pro is also full layout but has limited back-lighting.

TK is a hybrid between the full layout and ten-keyless design and is fully back-lit.

Some of these also come with Stealth option, which means the text is infront of the key caps instead of the top.

 

All are sturdy and well-built. If there was something negative to say about them, it would be the tacky "gamer" font on the key caps.
