Cheap "Gaming keyboard"?

[Cantaloupeman]

I have been looking for a new keyboard. I would like it to be somewhat gamerish, but not i dont want weird nerdy shapes and rgb. Rgb is nice but not a must. I have been looking into the azio levetron l70 and rapoo v500 as well as the rosewill rk-6000. I honestly dont care about mechanical etc. i just want something that is cheap,looks nice and matches the rest of my setup. My setup will either be orange or rgb depending on what i choose for a mouse. Any ideas?

They ship from china so it'll take 2 weeks to a month dependant on where you live in the world but I they are super cheap. Could find the same thing on amazon but it'll be twice the price, you really pay in time.

Define "cheap"

$30 - CM Storm Devastator (not mechanical, but feels okay)

$40 - TOMOKO 87 Key Mechanical Keyboard

$70 - CM Storm QuickFire Rapid w/ Cherry MX switches or Poseidon Z RGB w/ Kailh Switches

These could be good:

Corsair k30, not mechanical but a very very very good membrane. 

 

I had one for a long time, literally a few years. 

 

The jump to a mechanical keyboard after that was negligible at best. 

 

P.s linus loves it too.

If you're willing to consider membrane keyboards, keep an eye out for sweet deals on "alternative switch boards" as well.
I nabbed a cheap G410 at 50% discount. Not mechanical, but pretty decent and have nearly all the features I was looking for.

Anyways, before I got this, I used a Turtle Beach Impact 100.
I like the bulky build of it, it's heavy as crap and sturdy and have a nifty cable management system underneath.
What makes it great, in my opinion, is the lack of RGB. And the small amount that's there, is easily turned off.
Also you're able to lock the winkey, which is a neat bonus - No drivers/software needed (or provided).
- But there's NO media keys.

I'd consider it a low-level contender, in the membrane department.
If you want something sturdy, without fancy lights and stuff it's a great product, but it does lack a lot of features.
The K30, without having tried it, seems better and I would probably have bought one if my shop had those on the shelves.

Also, depending on your location, the prices might be pretty similar, and even if the K30 was a bit more I'd consider it over the TB100.
Oh well.. Just wanted to throw another board suggestion into the mix, even though I smack talked it a lot

 

Thanks man!
