You need to be more specific about what is being evaluated to be good or bad

Well, i dont know im a newbie to keyboards. By good and bad i mean something like "If the keys move alot, or the wobble alot, then they are bad (From side to side) " What linus commonly uses to see if a keyboard is good or bad

In that case you should look through all his published videos about keyboard reviews to see what he has to say about them.

Will do.

it actually does make sense.. maybe they do not have a credit card, paypal, etc. so they cannot buy anything online. maybe they have $300 sitting around and they want new peripherals

if it feels good to you then its good. just try it yourself

you may not like the most expensive keyboard others claim to be the best.

I think a keyboard is a very personal device, with personal preferences, so I would just go to a local store and try a couple of different keyboards.

so the budget would be 300 and thats the answer (and a balling budget that would be). Anyway its obvious now the budget was in the lower end and he was looking for something close to Cherry's which could have been useful to say.

Thanks @HOOTSMON @huilun02 @geo3 @dgsddfgdfhgs @iLostMyXbox21 @OskarKE

 

i went in a store, tried some keyboards and bought the one i liked. Tactile and clicky. Some knockoff cherry mx blues

Thats exactly what i would have done. Just the clicky would have sold it for me lol
