I mean... just get a keyboard you like the look of and feel suits what you feel comfortable spending since In single player games especially it wont change anything

 

There isnt a "at X $ you get the best deals/are the best options" so you work from "what do I wanna spend" to find options and not backwards

 

For a cheap good-ish gaming keyboard that is also (usually) under 50$ id get the redragok k617 FIZZ

 

If you are sold on just a smaller than 100% keyboards but not really needed to be 60% then the royal kludge 75, the rainy 75 and the Ajazz k820 pro are fairly inexpensive and good keyboards

You can go as cheap or expensive as you want.  Asking us what you should spend will not give you a perfecet answer.

It depends on your budget and how much you are willing to spend.

 

You are not going to be a better gamer with a 500 dollar keyboard over a 100 dollar keyboard.

A 60% and a 75% dont have that much a difference

well since im gonna be playing single player not gonna move mouse fast like i was playing fps where i need to react fast so not so much movement so movement gonna be minimal compare when playing fps games. Also thinking buying thing that expand my desk since if i put keyboard and mouse on desk itself gonna blind myself with monitor being so close to it so gonna be buying something to expand desk  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HFDJCSL/?coliid=I1LTL036SPTG3J&colid=1EKDXMT8W5YUH&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1  << this btw

60% is a real handicap in day-to-day use. Have arrows at least.

For your first keyboard, I'd recommend going for a cheap base - RK68/RK75 have all the HW features you'd want from a mechanical keyboard, including macros and key remap. Add your flavor of keycaps. 

What you should care about are the switches, the reason you are getting a mechanical in the first place. Get a tester from Gateron, or maybe even a set of these. Or check out some other recommended gaming switches. Either way, this is what you should spend money on.

Rk75 looks amazing and sound it makes while typing sound very nice i may go with that one i already got mouse all i need to figure out mouse pad size. since im gonna be using this to extend my desk to be less close to desk and monitor so i dont blind myself https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HFDJCSL/?coliid=I1LTL036SPTG3J&colid=1EKDXMT8W5YUH&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1 looks it has enough space
