Mechanical Keyboard Recommendation

Howitz

I am looking for a mechanical keyboard with renowned mechanical switches like cherry mx or romer, not some custom weird ones that we don't know if they are reliable.

 

The cheaper the better, no care about RGB or lights at all.

 

Lastly, i live in canada.

What kind of switches do you prefer? Reds and Browns are usually the ones on sale. Also you looking for full sized or ten-key keyless?

I mean your free to prefer any switch you like, but that statement was seriously misguided. 

i said ''like'' i guess khail works too and all the ones we know are good dude... i just don't want some shady clone switches you know... is there anything wrong with that? what would your guided take be on the matter if i am so misguided, if i may ask?

I don't know what you would specifically be referring to by "shady clone switch".  Gateron, Outemu, or Kailh are the switches you would receive 99.9% of the time if you don't get a Cherry switch. And by most measures these 3 are currently as good as or even better than Cherry. Go back a few years and this is not the case, particularity for Outemu and Kailh, but they've really stepped up their game now days. The only other MX clone manufacture you're likely to see is Greetech, which I would avoid, but those are almost exclusively found in Razer boards now.
