Looking for a new keyboard

[jakouu1]

HI,

So basicly I'm treating myself to a new PC build. WIth that I also want to upgrade my monitor, mouse and keyboard. I have already picked out my monitor and mouse. I'm just stuck looking for a keyboard. I want somthing to be good for writing word documents, editing video, and a little bit of gaming. Having backlighting would be nice. Also mechanical Cherry MX switches would be appreaciated. Anything under $60 (I could also pay $70 or $80, I just wanna manage my budget.). If you can, please reccomend some keyboards.

Thanks

I've heard nothing but good keyboards from (reddragon https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-KUMARA-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B019O9BLVY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1529851372&sr=8-3&keywords=mechanical%2Bkeyboard&th=1) it uses cherry mx blue equivilent meaning probably gateron kailh or some other chinese switches but in 2018 the only difference between those switches is quality and if you want cherry switches in general than your not going for the highest quality. Thats what I would recommend since its RGB and looks pretty good. 

Cheers

 

edit:

the switches are outemu which are apperently pretty decent

For that price range its hard to look for real cherry MX, in that price range you have the razer essential series and those half mech/membrane keyboards. Do you have a big tech store somewhere in your town, they often have keyboards displayed so you can try them out and find the one you like.

The Logitech G710+ is a really good option. It has cherry mx brown switches which are suitable for both typing and gaming. I got mine for $70 CAD and it's a pretty good deal.
