A few months ago I bought a Rosewill Neon K91 keyboard with Kailh Brown switches for around 25 USD, been very happy with it so far and it feels great to type on.

 

I also got a Redragon Kumara for 40 USD about 8 years ago and it's still going strong.

There's not a lot of group knowledge of budget mechanical keyboards on this forum. There's TOO many to choose from, and most of the regulars here use boards that are around the $80-$160 range (including myself).

Newegg usually has good deals on Rosewill products, since that's their in-house brand.

 

Other than that, eBay has also been a pretty good option.

Yes its a good keyboard, mine lasted 4 years then it started typing double keys if i press any button.
Although i do not have a good experience with ReDragon products.

After Kumara died i bought the redragon k580 vata which is very expensive keyboard but unfortunately it died within 1 year, the whole Home,End Arrow Up/Down area got malfunction and now when i press any button it only type the numbers and symbols.At the same time i bought the Mirage WIreless Redragon Mouse and its scroll wheel does not work anymore.
