~50$ Gaming Keyboard

[ilove64]

Hey, I think it's time to stop using old 3$ microsoft/dell keyboards and get into the 'advanced' stuff.

I have around 50$ to spend on a keyboard help please?

It will be used for gaming and mostly typing (writing) for 10~ hours a day.

I never tried a mechanical keyboard and don't know what it's like, is it that good? Can I get one within this budget?

PS: Prefer it having backlit and or a grip to rest my palms on, not a must.

Here are some I had in mind but i'm not expert

I think this going to be about the only mechanical keyboard in your budget.

 

 

monoprice has this one with mx blues for $60 right now, but I've seen it on sale for around $50

Do mechanical keyboards make a big difference? You would recommend this http://www.corsair.c...ard-refurbished over this http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-G105-Gaming-Keyboard-Backlighting/dp/B00BBUCCKO/ref=sr_1_57?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1419993724&sr=1-57&keywords=mechanical+keyboard   ?

@t0wer @Jonnyswboy

Hmmm... is there a big difference between the two? If so I'll just get the 60$ one, if not I rather save the 20~$ to buy better headphones. What do you think?

the corsair is mx reds, which are linear, and the monoprice is mx blues which have a bump in the middle of the keypress and are clicky.

switch type is all preference

 

if I didn't already have 2 mx red boards, I would have probably bought one of those corsairs.

I don't think I've seen a mech board that cheap before.

if you dont mind sticking to membrane keyboards, the corsair raptor k series boards are good. I myself have a K40.

Sorry for being dumb, but which one are you talking about? I'll get that one for sure. Thank you so much

+1 for the Logitech g105, it's the keyboard that I used before I bought my new one.
