Looking for a mechanical keyboard for around 60$ and by that I pretty much mean no more then 65$ and of course cheaper is better. I was looking at the TOMOKO and AUKEY but they are blue switches, I do not know what key to choose as I cannot try them out before hand, everybody says reds and browns are best for all around use/gaming more then blues which are better for typing. I do both gaming and typing. I don't care how loud the blues are, they are an option I could choose, but Dimitri from hardware canucks said that they require more "patience" because the keys take more time to be ready to be pressed again, which might effect gaming such as BF1 spamming dat melee. What do you guys use? What do you recommend?

Found this too, Outemu reds, Outemu is basically a copy cat, but Greg from Salazar studio said they are good copy cats. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Drevo-Gramr-84-Key-Backlit-Edition-Tenkeyless-Wired-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-/162273530295?var=461253233471&hash=item25c84191b7:g:8yAAAOSwB09YIwZF

K65 mx brown? They are the best choice. I don't really trust kb that advertise as some unreliable kinda like mechanical

Bit more then 65$, I wish I could spend that much more. Unless I get lucky and get another donation on my stream that isn't happening.

If I had 80$ to spend the strafe would be an option, red backlit and red switches.

Well if it stays on sale that could be an option, I don't like the steel back part but beggars cant be choosers.

I might just get blue switches and give em a try, I hear a lot of good things, if it sucks I'm sure I can return it, amazon is cool like that. I might like em though who knows?

I like brown but only becuase they give a nice balance for typing and response for gaming, reds are my favourite for soley gaming though blue's are probably the nicest for typing overall but they are loud so I won't consider blue's because my blue yeti picks up my brown switches at times so blue's would probably be a nightmare

Yea I imagine my blue snowball parked right in front of my keyboard would pick it up since it already picks up my membrane keyboard, however my viewers don't really care, I mostly stream and its not like I can snippy snap that out or w/e and my mom has really loud birds so I'm sure the keys wouldn't bother them.

 

Anyway right now I'm between either the AUKEY or FIREROSE, thoughts?
