Searching for a Mechanical Keyboard Under $100

[Peterwoo802]

Hi! Do any of you guys happen to have any keyboard recommendations? 

I don't really have a preference but I do need to keep the Budget below $100, of course the lower the better.

I currently use a laptop which tends to heat up very easily so naturally typing on such thing makes my hand overly sweat. 

I will mainly be using a keyboard for typing ( I am a student so I do type a fair bit) and Osu!, which is the only game I play. 

My desk is a little small so perhaps something not too big would be nice. Desk Dimensions are 24'' x 35.5'' 

It would be a great pleasure to get some suggestions or info from anyone.

 

Thank you very much,

And Have a Nice Day

GK61 or any other similar Chinese 60% from Aliexpress. If you want clicky, get some Kailh BOX switches, if you want linears, get some Gateron Yellows, if you want tactiles I don't really know lol

Not really, no. Not any worse than Ebay. Hell, I personally prefer it.

Wait until Black Friday / Cyber Monday next weekend.

Peripherals get discounted HARD. Keyboards and mice especially.

 

Wouldn't be surprised if keyboards like the Logitech G910 went down to $99 or lower.

i think it's exactly $99 dollars right now, I don't have time, but a lot of logitech mice are 50% off or more.

It would be really great if I could get these keyboards but unfortunately they are too big for my desk.

Thank you for the Suggestion though!

do you have a tape measure, do you have anything on your desk taking space, and how big is your desk, if you can measure please share, because tiny keyboards i tried are just trash, but waiiiiiiiit, try  buying the raspberry pi keyboard, not the pi400, the keyboard, not the pi400 which is a pc in keyboard

I have updated my Desk dimensions on the original post

I am currently using a mouse pad (12.5'' x 10''), I am thinking if I would get a keyboard I would probably switch to a desk pad.
