Wondering what Mechanical keyboard to get

[joerags]

Hi I'm new to this forum and I have been researching on mechanical keyboards for about a month now. I live in the Philippines (it's in south east asia) and I'm on a budget of roughly $90 for a mechanical keyboard.

I'm not sure what my priority is in looking for a mech keyboard but I've read about the e-element keyboard on massdrop (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/e-element-rgb-keyboard) and I've also found the Motospeed inflictor on Gearbest.com

(http://www.gearbest.com/keyboards/pp_298472.html).Both of which sport the Outemu blue switches.

 

I feel like getting a mechanical keyboard that is Full size, Cherry mx switches (If possible, but Kailh would be good enough) and colored backlighting~

What keyboards could you guys suggest? (PS this is my first personal mechanical keyboard but I've had experience in using them)

Thanks~

You can't go wrong with anything corsair. In most of their keyboards they use aluminium and not plastic like the others.

Definitely, my brother got a K70 Vengeance mx cherry red, but around here it's kinda pricey at about almost $200. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll look into more of their products.

Have you had a look at cooler master (cm storm)? They make rather good quality stuff and their ten-keyless keyboard is only  $70 usd with MX blue's https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0068INSUM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_xaIbxbB0Q55V6

good point, I'm trying to get a consensus here while on the other thread I wanted to focus more on their pros and cons if ever someone from the forum already bought or used any of them

Do you have any recommendations of keyboards without backlighting?

I can't, because i don't own any, cooler master has great rep though, go see the pinned mechanical keyboard thread. A lot of people have cooler master tkl i think
