What (cheap) keyboard?

[teddyteddyteddy]

I'm building a pc, and I need a keyboard... I don't want to spend much on it, $30 or less would be good. Everyone says that mechanical keyboards are really good, but I can't justify spending $100 on a keyboard. Could you guys recommend something good?

Microsoft Sidewinder x4 is ...decent. I would recommend saving for a mechanical keyboard though. They really are so much nicer to type on than membrane.

for 30 or less just get some crap for 10 instead

Zalman ZM-K300

a good budget keyboard

Spend a little more and get this.

Get some Microsoft Wired keyboard, they're like $10 and they are essentially the same thing as a $30 keyboard except they don't have tacky symbols on it and don't say gaming all over it. That Zalman looks okay though.

I vote for Dell stuff. Like KB-522. It has VOLUME WHEEL   and WRIST REST  for 11$.

Cheap mechanicals aren't really that good. For keyboards most people go really cheap or go all out. I went really cheap on my room computer with a $10 Microsoft wired keyboard, and all out on a Ducky Shine 2 on my gaming rig. Honestly I don't mind using either of them for gaming, and to me the $100 difference isn't really justifiable. If you don't need a dedicated button to open Google or your email for you, just get something like the Wired Keyboard 400. The money you save even from a budget of $30 could buy you a case fan or two.

This is good and you can use the mouse as a backup

That looks pretty good, I think maybe I'll get that

Out of curiosity, what is the cheapest that I could get a decent mechanical keyboard?

The CM Storm Devistator bundle is pretty good I think
