Looking for Mechanical Keyboard Recommendations

[Somnax]

Looking for recommendations for a mechanical keyboard to use with first person shooters. Would like it to be tenkeyless and backlit, Preferably rgb, but that isn't a necessity.

How much can you spend? Look at Corsair K65

[Somnax]

Around $100 or so

If you want something cheaper, i'd try this- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VOUNRT6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3BO4JX52Z9J6S&coliid=I2F5CE7O4QGAPR (excuse the big link) and it also comes with a mouse and mousepad.

k65 rgb for sure.

is that thing even mech? (one of the few keywords not spotted in the title )

Nearly $100 more for the k65 rgb compared to the regular one...wtf. Does it have any more features or is it that much more for a Christmas tree?

cringeeeeee

it doesn't even try to act like it's mechanical

if you want a nice membrane "gaming" keyboard (would not recommend), look at the CM Storm Devastator, very good quality for the price. can't speak for that product. at a $100 budget, you have much more room. 

 

A very cheap (but still good) mech option:

Otherwise a used K65 is probably your best bet.

most of them at least try to say "mechanical-feeling"

Do you expect a combo mouse/kb under 30 to be mech? OR even RGB??

if you're gonna go for the feel of mech, pick the k65, logitech's romer-G feels more towards what you'd expect a rubbrdome to be, but slightly more linear, if that makes sense.

For $30 I can't imagine it is. And don't see mechanical anywhere on the description lol

if you want a membrane keyboard, fish up something old from logitech on the cheap, disinfect it, and enjoy logitech's programmable keys  (their lua engine is freaking godmode, taran would love it.)

It uses Romer - G switch. Different from Cherry MX switches. I never used them before so can't tell

logitech uses their special sauce romer-G, they're not what mech folks usually expect a mech keyboard to feel like.
