Thanks for helping out!

I am looking for a cheap, mechanical gaming keyboard. Under $50 AUD only please

Backlighting does not matter but the colour scheme does... The keyboard has to be red and black.

thank!

do you have a preference for a specific key?

reds are preferable

reds are preferable

well, it seems like the cheapest keyboard with reds in aus is the korsair K65, at 100 dollars

conversion rates arent helping either i guess...

i think that may be impossible. unless you go second hand. (not recommended for peripherals)

Cheapest I've found are $75 and it's black and orange with yellow switches: http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Keyboards/Mechanical/56536-V500

First completely black one appears at about $95, also with yellow switches: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_1276&products_id=31669

First to be red backlit and have red switches is $120: http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Keyboards/Mechanical/48412-SGK-4020-GKCR1

but the only one out of those 3 i'd actually take is the $120, and you need about $150 before you options really broaden

Cheapest gaming keyboard.... 10 bucks for a usb keyboard from amazon. All that extra crap isnt gonna make you a better player. Just makes you lazy. Use software to make macros for anything using any keyboard or mouse. All the fancy 200 buck keyboards are just a waste of money unless your that obsessed with the the RGB stuff. All you need is you 10 key, the 26 letters with some stuff on the side, and 1-0 on the top. Wasd does the same thing on every keyboard. Only think i would drop money on is one with anti-ghosting/rollover
