Gaming keyboard under $40

[genexis_x]

Games I played - CSGO (FPS), Dota 2 (MOBA)

 

Preference:

1. Cheap

2. Compact (numpad not necessary)

3. Mechanical switches would be a plus

 

Note that I don't live in US so availability of some products may be an issue

 

Any suggestions?

Look at Linus cheap mechanical keyboards. Should give you some idea.

Breaks your budget but this is the cheapest you'll find for genuine Cherry switches:

As for clone switches, I'm sure you could find plenty on Amazon. Make sure you know if you want linear (red), clicky (blue), or "silent clicky" (brown). I prefer my Cherry Browns now but it's all personal taste.

 

I know my link is out of your price range but I highly suggest saving up a bit more for a keyboard that will last you a while. Having gone through 4-5 keyboards now, I'm glad I finally settled on the real deal.

Get from taobao (china) there's alot of options but add in shipping to the cost

I got a E-Element Z77 from Taobao for under S$40, try Taobao, a good place to get some cheap Chinese mechanical keyboards.

My budget is actually out of my price range, the original budget is $30

Is the quality of the keyboard okay?

Not bad for something that cost me only 30 odd dollars. The only downside is that it took 2 weeks to reach Singapore.

Looks decent, like something I would pickup for that price myself. The white backlight one looks clean.
