So I was looking to buy a keyboard and I stopped on two variants: COUGAR CORE, Redragon Amsa Pro K592RGB. Basically the COUGAR CORE looks cleaner and better but uses hybrid mechanical switches and the Redragon uses real blue mechanical switches. So which one do you think is better and if you have anything you think is better than I will be happy to see it!

Personally I don’t recommend buying these types of cheap mechanical boards, because they’re cool for being cheap and readily available on Amazon but not much more. 
It’s the view of “how much are you willing to spend and is it worth spending at all”, because nothing around that price tier is all that great but it doesn’t take much beyond that to get to some actual decent keyboards.

Example, at the 100$ mark instead of the 60-70$ mark, Ducky One 2 Skyline:

Not to mention ordering from here you can pick your desired switch type and everything.

 

But that’s if you want to spend that extra 40$, if you cap your budget at the 60-70$ area then those cheap Amazon mechanicals are realistically your only choice because anything that’s a real decent mechanical keyboard is going to just start at 100$ bare minimum.

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately my budget is between 60-70$ So i guess I will stick to these variants. I just wanted to know your opinion on which tpye is better for the price. Hybrid switches or Blue switches.

I would go for keychron and if you can afford the hotswappable option I would definitely go for it ... you won't regret it in the end
