keyboard

Hello, I'm starting out in gaming, and I don't know if you could recommend a keyboard, I've heard that the %60 ones are good to start with.
Budget:$50

I got mine for free it is a mechanical AT-101W with Alpine Black switches, so you have that option to look for ones which are going to be trashed. It is all I really need.

If you really just need a keyboard to play games and have no other preferences or uses for it, just go with whatever keyboard comes with your PC. Invest the 50$ in some games or save it for some other purchase later.

Keyboards don't make you a better gamer.

Mechanical keyboards are inherently better than rubber membrane keyboards due to the ability to press down several keys (N-key rollover).

 

100%, TKL, 75%, 65%, 60% don't matter.

The switch type kind of matters - if you're doing a lot of repeated button presses, you're recommended to get Linear mechanical switches. Specifically for gaming, you can get "speed" switches that have a shorter travel distance which means faster actuation.

 

$50 is not a good budget for a mechanical keyboard. Just stick with what you have right now.

50 dólares no es un buen presupuesto para un teclado mecánico. Simplemente quédate con lo que tienes ahora.

The problem is that I currently don't have a keyboard(and I don't have much budget for peripherals, I spent almost everything on the PC)

Then get a generic office keyboard, it doesn't have to be fancy or 60% or whatever size. They can be found for 20$ or less and do their job just fine.

There is very little to nothing you gain in terms of quality by going with the cheapest mechanical gaming board over some decent office keyboard.

You need to tell us what websites and vendors you use.

If Amazon is available, then tell us what sub-site.

For example, Amazon.com is America and Amazon.ca is Canada.

 

Otherwise, I am a fan of the full size Logitech K120 for office work.
