Hi, I'm looking for a Mechanical Keyboard. Budget is between 80-110$. I really liked the g710+ because it has the dedicated keys on the far left side, and i overall just liked it. Would like to try blue's or browns. This is my first mechanical keyboard FYI. And a number pad would be nice too. Open to any suggestions :D

It's on sale currently, 20$ over your budget, totally worth it if you ask me. Amazing keyboard! Browns are my favorite, very good to type and to game, and less noisy than Blue. (still quite clanky, but better than clicky ^^)

Try switches first. The Cooler Master CM Storm Quickfire TK is pretty nice for the money. Or, just get a G710+.

What these two said^

Try keys and get the G710+ if you want browns. It's a gorgeous keyboard.

You can get the 710+. But if you can, try different switches first at a store near you if you can

If you haven't tried mechanical keyboards, you could buy a Coolermaster Sampler kit for $15 and you get $15 credit towards buying a Coolermaster keyboard. :)
