Cheap mechanical keyboards

[Raytsou]

So I was looking around for mechanical keyboards, and I found this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823839022&cm_re=AZIO_MGK1-_-23-839-022-_-Product

Is it a good keyboard? Would anyone recommend it? I'm interested because it's basically dirt-cheap for a mech keyboard. If not, how about this:

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This keyboard / mouse bundle doesn't have mechanical keys, but it claims it has "Mem-chanical switches that feels like mechanical switches"

You won't find a cheaper on than this

 

If you want real mechanical switches, do you care which ones (brown, blue, etc)

Hm, i'm hardly a experienced person in terms of mech keyboards, but i do read and watch a lot about mech keyboards. From what i can tell, Not many people have Azio keyboards, but i have seen some reviews on youtube about this brand's mech keyboards, but not that famous to be discussed frequently. The razer keyboard link posted seems like too much of a steal, i'd say be careful. As for myself, i got the tesoro excalibur spectrum because i cared a lot about lighting. I noticed something very interesting on the mech keyboard thread, there are a lot of people with cooler master tkl

That's the devastator II. I currently have the devastator, so it won't be much of an upgrade. For switch type, I'd prefer blue/brown.

I don't know what you mean by "be careful". It's staples, I could literally go to the store down the street and buy it from there. I'm just getting some opinions because I'm new to the mech keyboard area. I don't really care about lighting, except that there is some, so I can see the keys. I'm not looking into RGB, simple white backlight is enough.
Also, I'd prefer to have a numpad, so no cm tkl.

They are both alright, however they don't use Cherry MX switches

Razer is much more well known however the Synapse app runs like cancer

 

So you decide if you want a full body or bare key design, wrist rest or not, green or white lighting

Do you have any more information on them? Specifically the AZIO one, like how reliable it is and such? I'd prefer that one because green lighting looks weird.

Oh, i'd thought you were gonna get them online, don't have staples here. If you are new, then maybe get them cheapest one you can get your hands on whether it is cherry or kailh or whatnot and feel the switch to see if you like them. Once you know your favourite type of keys, then maybe you can get some better keyboard with best quality switches and custom keycaps.

 

Something that really worries me about mech keyboards is that i don't think i have seen anyone on the forum with a broken mech keyboard. So maybe the function, form and price of your keyboard is something you should decide by yourself. Because durability wise, there isn't much information.
