Cheap mechanical keyboard?

[owenrees1]

I'm looking for a new mechanical keyboard to upgrade from my sidewinder x4. So far, I haven't found any keyboards for under £50. Are there any in decent ones in existence?

 

If you can find a few, I would prefer blue or brown switches

For under £50?? I bought a CoolerMaster CM QUICKFIRE TK (edit) with Cherry MX Brown switches for 100CHF

Go used man. Find something older from Cooler Master or maybe get lucky with Ducky

This is the cheapest it gets for a new one: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-keyboard-sgk4020gkcl1us

Why not check out Ebay/Gumtree for a second hand one?

You're very unlikely to find a keyboard for under £50. Try and save another £20-£30 to pick up one of the CM Storm keyboards. You wont regret it.

Edit: sorry didn't read that you want blue/brown switches

You won't find a keyboard with genuine cherry switches for under 50 bucks. Maybe a knock off brand, but your best bet is to buy a used one and clean all the keycaps.

its best you save up for a high class keyboard than buying one that will break in a week

Might not be for you as it is not a full keyboard, but check out that link if it doesn't bother you http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zalman-ZM-K500-USB-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B00A53LCQ8

Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition is one of the cheapest mechanical keyboards I have ever seen but it has Razer (Khail) switches

I am sorry to inform you that I have no idea...

I had a look at the reviews on Amazon, some people are very satisfied, but others have problems with the keys rosponding after using it for a few months. Hope this helps you to make a choice[emoji2]

@owenrees1 as I already said, the CoolerMaster CM Qucikfire TK is very good. I used it for 1 year on 4 months now, bought on 18.02.13 EU, and had no problems with it. You have a numberpad but it's mixed with delete, home and so on.
