Budget Mechanical Keyboard for $25?

Hi community, i am looking for a budget mechanical keyboard and at the moment i got my eyes on cooler master ck530 v2. 

It used TTC switch which i think its a downgrade from the original Gateron version but i don't think its not really an issue within the price range and its a full RGB and comes with a wrist wrest so not so bad i guess.

Do you have a better recommendation?

I mean what do you expect? At this price point its all proprietary board that youll be on your own in terms of disassembly to get to the board or a GK clone. If OP doubles their budget they could find come old stock of Keychron C series or Keychron K series which would be a massive quality bump.

Look i know what i am getting for that price range so i don't expect to get "GOOD" mechanical keyboard but rather GOOD for the price, on top of that i am not a keyboard enthusiast. Been using membrane for years and sure i've used cheap and mid-range mechanical keyboards as well but personally going with the high end keyboard doesn't do anything for me. I am fine with cheap keyboard. 

I appreciate your feedback but my advice is whether you'll take it or not is only begin to speak if you're certain what you'll say isn't better left unsaid because honestly and i mean no offense, you guys doesn't do much help. But i appreciate the feedback. Thank you

Lenovo currently has a sale on their mechanical legion keyboard it's alright.

 

But to not get garbage tier mech keyboards 40$ is basically the cutoff point.

 

Otherwise can't go wrong with a trusty old logitech k120 membrane 😛

Should have posted two days earlier, I could have given you my old Ducky keyboard for free. 

Anyway, found one on carousell at SGD28 which is a good deal tbh.
