I'm happy with my Logitech 915TKL, is it the best value/price? No idea but I like it, I mainly use Logitech KB, Mouse and Headset so I only have to use one piece of software.

redragon has many good cheap mech keyboard

k582 and k556 are good and cheap

the Logitech G915 X is nice full sized full featured keyboard but $200+ is not cheap

I have two Leopolds and I love them. Very very well-made keyboards.

Not a Ducky, IMHO. (Ducky, is the brand name.)

Felt nice to use my Ducky One III TKL, but it didn't last very long for the price being asked. (Switches began failing, then it turned off and wouldn't come back on.)

Used some of it's remove-able switches, the only plus side of it, to repair the old battered Razer Blackwidow TE it was supposed to replace

Keyboards are awkward things though. I love a good typewriter style "click", but others like silence....

If i was buying one now, i'd be inclined to look at Razer. Haven't had Logitech in recent years, so i can't comment on their modern offerings.

Apex 7 is priced at $169.99, it uses magnetism. Wired.
It was the fastest keyboard.

+1 on this. I have Redragon Kumara White- K552W-RGB-1 for 2 years and I am satisfied for the price to performance it gave. Got it for $30 on my region.

Mechanical is overrated. Get one of those hall effect magnetic keyboards or just get a nice scissor key membrane board... those are quiet and feel great to type with.

Any brand is fine. Choosing a keyboard is more abt the layout

For that price bracket you're better off getting a Keychron or Wooting.

No the previous poster saying reddragon was correct.

Those are some of the best mechanical keyboards for the price. (budget)

If you have the budget go for Keychron.

im still using a Dell keyboard that my parents bought with a Dell PC back in 2000
now I just wish I still have the keyboard that came with my very first PC back in 1996

Those keyboards that came with PCs in the 90s are actually better than those overpriced mechanical keyboards with RGB and last way longer

I got a pink mechanical keyboard years ago. I just got it because it was the coolest princess pink one around, in my opinion of course. I even got 2 of them. I paid around 40 dollars for each one.

Still works today. I would say get the one you want the most within your budget range when it comes to features, whether it's including a numpad or RGB. A cheaper mechanical keyboard doesn't mean it's bad, I love my one to bits and it's been amazing for years.

Don't get HP Omen if you type fast and you don't want their bloatware.

with oem pcs, its always best to download the windows creation tool and make the os installer, and grab just the drivers from the oem site, and copy them to the usb stick
then clean and format the drive when you install windows, once at desktop, copy the drivers and install them
then you will have the oem pc with no bloat

I like RoyalKludge.
