Cheapest full size mechanical keyboard?

Virtual01

Looking for a cheap mechanical keyboard to use at my new job. Needs to be full size because I need the numpad. I'm not necessarily concerned with what kind of switches it uses as long as they aren't clicky. Any suggestions?

If you're looking for something a little fancier (backlighting, media controls, etc.) while still looking "civilized" enough to not stick out as "gamer-y" in an office, have a look at the G610

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

I go for the opposite approach. See my profile pic, that's my work keyboard. It came with Outemu Blues, the loudest blue type switch I've ever heard. 

 

I like to blind and hypnotize my co-workers, and when all else fails... nothing says I'm not listening to you better than typing up an email or a response on LTT ;)

 

If buckling springs could be lit as gaudily as possible, I'd have gotten them instead.
