Need a new keyboard.

mao91

Doused my oddly nice Redragon Karura in beer tonight (alcohol abuse, I know.) Unfortunately, all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't bring humpty dumpty back to life again. Any suggestions for replacement? Debating mechanical, so my ears are open to ideas. I was using the Karura as it was a nice "switch between laptop and desktop" feeling keyboard while I was still in college. Still, my budget is not very extravagant so I'd like to keep this under $75.

If what I'm posting has already been posted, I'm sorry.

Corsair Strafe is the way to go. If you don't like noise go for cherry mx red switches and pick up some o-rings for like 4 bucks. MX browns are less noisy, but the click helps persuade you to write essays, believe me. Cherry mx blues are my go to switch. With them, I feel like I am born to type words, but they are pretty loud, even with o-rings.
