Looking for a cheap mehanical keyboard.

huskey

I'm looking for a cheap mehanical keyboard that is illuminated. The type of switches won't bother me, just as i said it needs to be mehanical. I'd also prefer it's from a known brand, such as Logitech, Razer *highly doubt a cheap razer product exsits*, Roccat, Corsair, CM Storm etc... It doesn't need to have all the fancy features, just blue leds, i don't even need any macros to be honest. A num pad is needed though. I would search for it my self but i kind of don't have enough time, and i know there are people that can find or already know keyboard as such. The max price i can go is 60€ maybe 5 more. Like i said it doesn't need to have all the fancy featuers since i'm probably going to replace it with an Orion spark once its price drops ^^. Also if you find it on a site other than amazon could you check if they ship to Slovenia?

 

Any suggestions are apriciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

A mechanical KB for €50 doesn't exist. Especially in Slovenia.

Cheap and illuminated mechanical keyboard generally do not go together.

Tt Esports Poseidon or Poseidon Z should fit right in your price bracket.

Ehm no. Not really. You're looking at twice the price for a blue LED mechanical keyboard.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Wrong.

How is that wrong? Mechanical keyboards are by far one of the most expensive type of keyboards out there, not to mention backlights generally add 20$ on top of the price ATLEAST. If you are going to be an asshole atleast try and back it up.

Yup. Tt Esports Poseidon Z. Inexpensive, and backlit. Not super cheap, but still. And sorry, didn't mean to come across as an asshole.

Yeah sorry bout that it just seemed like you were arguing for the sake of arguing, and I did say generally :P you can always find something cheaper then average but weather or not its worth it is up to the buyer.

Well thanks too all of you. I know good mehanical keyboards are hard to get for my price range but i really can't afford spending 100s of € on a keyboard right now. I'll take a closer look of the poseidon, thanks again.

Tt Esports Poseidon or Poseidon Z should fit right in your price bracket.

One thing to note, the Poseidon Z is based on the Kailh switches. Arguably, there's a difference.

Thermal take Poseidon z

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

I think either Tt eSports Poseidon Z, Steelseries 6Gv2 or a Razer Blackwidow Tournament are going to be the cheapest

 

The thing is, you say "not fussed about switches", and that concerns me. Considering that's the selling point of the keyboards
