Just get the cheapest mechanical keyboard with the normal layout without any special keys or features that you would not use.

Those usually come at $65USD, but then again with sales you can get them at even cheaper.

Or you could get Khail keys which are significantly cheaper but loses to the MX keys at key press timings.

 

However I feel that Khail keys are better at typing for long periods of time.

I've been using some random eagletec keyboard from amazon and its been holding up well. But the cm storm octane/storm combo is a good idea.
