Gaming keyboard for $100... ?

Giganizer300PRO

Hello everyone...

 

My story is here... (http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/238814-wet-razer/  )  :(  :(

 

So for a new keyboard...

I am looking for something, dedicated to gaming. I am Razer enthuziast tho, but other brands will also do. I am looking for a new keyboard for under $100. It
MUST be a WIRED keyboard. I prefer low profile keys, but any will do if its quality (all do if mechanical, I'd prefer clicky...). Backlight is almost a must have. I would like something a little more durable, something that can be brought back to life after a spill or something like that. I really like the BlackWidow Chroma, but it is very expensive. For the lightning an RGB would be liked, but is not necesary.

 

Can you please recommend me some keyboards please?  <_<

Brought back after a spill? The AZio Levetron Mech 5. I've spilled stuff on it 3-5 times and it still works fine :)

 

There are probably other options though

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

None of these have backlight!

 

I didnt mean to say "Waterproof"...

Just that I had a DeathStalker and the membrane is a pain if you spill shit on it!

 

I dont know about other companies, but Razer has GREAT programabillity programs and software.

check out ducky keyboards. and if you want stealth keys, you can get them for just about any keyboard.

never liked razer, its like the alienware of peripherals. not really worth the price.

I know Razer is expensive, but unless you have something like Razer (a similar product to, ex. BlackWidow) you cant spit on Razer because it is unique and you have no argument. Besides cant you just recommend me a keyboard, please?

my friend has a black widows ultimate, and i prefer my g710+. and i have used several razer products in the past so im not just talking out my ass. i used to have a pair of their Carcharias headphones, which were comfortable but died within 6 months. i currently use the ouroborous mouse, since my rat7 died on me.  not saying its a bad product, just expensive since you're paying out the ass for a logo.  and i did make a recomendation. check out Ducky keyboards. they are a good price, great built quality, and have a backlight

Corsair K70 with blue switches was 100$ a while ago....I have one with browns and i love the hell out of it

 

Edit: cheapest k70 right now is 111$ with reds: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823816010&cm_re=k70-_-23-816-010-_-Product

I used my old EVGA GTX285 with its thermal limiters off to cook an egg once.  ONCE.

If you prefer Razer keyboards:

With my experience with the Razer switches, they are perfectly usable and great to use. Although, some of the switches doesn't sound the same, nor does it feel like the same. My up arrow key arrived with a mushy, silent feeling. All in all, I still love it.

Thank you for your responses, but I am still confused. I dont know what to get. I want a Blue switch (prefered) with backlight, thats about all. ('course wired and with numpad)

I couldnt find anything from Ducky for less than $100 (with backlight and stuff).  :(  :(

for 100$ check out cooler master cm storm keyboards. They have Cherry MX switches and they are really high quality ;)

Get an IBM Model M. It is the greatest thing. You can basically pour water or milk on it and it is sure to work.

The Blackwidow Ultimate that MattTheMayor listed here is backlit, uses Razer's own equivalent of the Cherry MX Blue, and is under $100 on Newegg.

How about you telling us your location in your post rather than your profile saying "Earth"? Would've been much easier, wouldn't you think
