Best cheap keyboard?

[George Vella]

I am planning to upgrade my setup soon. What is a great and cheap keyboard that has a numpad preferibally? Thanks

 

This will mainly be used for video editing, not gaming

I forgot to mention that, preferibally something under US $50 but as long as it's under $60 It'll be fine

Really amazing keyboard. Cherry MX Blue keyswitches, which are the best kind. Also available with MX Red, IMO inferior but some prefer them.

this is a solid board for the price, personally love the brown switch for typing, not a fan of the clicky blues because blue switches at this pricepoint are usually pretty loud

Thanks @Oswin and @Aereldor!

What do you mean 'Blue switches at this price point are pretty loud'. Cherry Mx Blue switches are Cherry Mx Blue switches everywhere. If you mean O-rings, at what point does a mechanical keyboard ship with O-rings in the box, let alone installed?

Also, from the description

The Velocifire TKL02WS features CONTENT Brown Switches

 

What in the fuck is a 'CONTENT' brand switch lol. I've heard of Cherry, Otemu, Kailh, Gateron, the proprietary shit Razer and Steelseries make... But 'CONTENT'... Content Brown literally sounds like some Sketchy shit.
 

@George Vella don't get that... If you wanna spend nothing, this $30 keyboard from Velocifire at least has Otemu brown switches.

Also- all brown switches suck, even Cherry MX Brown. They're not Red switches, they aren't straight. They're not blue switches, they have no click mechanism. No, they're literally red switches with a notch in them, so instead of a straight, smooth feel or a satisfying click, you get this shitty scratch as the plastic in the switch grinds against the actuator.

i did not state anything about cherry blues, most keyboards under the 50$ price point have outemu blues or other blue switch clones, which is ridiculously loud. if you are a fan of blue switches then its up to you, its personal preference, i am just stating my opinion.

Ay right. O-rings are really cheap though, you can buy lots of 100 at any hardware store for $2 or less.
