Cheap 60% Mechanical KB?

My Razer Oroboros has been having some problems, so I have decided to return it and get either a g502 or k65 RGB (that is not what the thread is about).  My brother needs a mechanical keyboard because its so much better and his doesn't even have anti-ghosting.  I am going to use half of the Oroboros price to get a mouse, and the other half with what my brother pays me to get the keyboard.  

My desk is fairly small, and my k70 is just a bit too big for my desk, I think the k65 would be a good fit, but a 60% keyboard would be ideal.  If you can, try to keep the suggestions under $100, if it is over, I might as well go with the k65 RGB.  Any suggestions?

Just saw the Ducky Shine Mini is 110 on Massdrop.  Good deal or naw?

The Ducky seems like a pretty good deal. It's $30 less. 

Is it worth it over the k65 RGB for 135?

You don't really need RGB just get the K60 and call it good.

No. The Ducky Mini has lights, I just don't think they are RGB. So go with the Ducky.

Ducky is definitely the best option for the money for 60% with real Cherry switches.

The scroll wheel needed uneven force to scroll, it was pretty uncomfortable and fatigued my hand, and the mouse tracking was glitchy.
