So, here's a quick list of boards, from amazon. I went with them for a search on mechanical boards, and filtered by 4 stars +, and read some of the critical reviews and sort through the ones that seemed to be overwhelmingly positive, with no "i did this for a kickback" though they no longer allow that, those reviews still skew it. Next, I went with brands that, well I had heard of. I just so happened to have seen or read reviews on boards from these companies, and while they often get the board for free in these situations, I still have seen them in action, or seen critical reviews of a product from them before. So, would venture to say these are probably some of the more... okay brands, of these "cheap" brands. Now, I included mostly TKL boards, since they happen to be cheaper, and I also included a "wireless" and quite a few backlit ones. I know you said that didn't matter, but they were within budget at met the review requirements, and your other reqs, albeit at typically higher prices. Also, I tried not to include the scam of "mechanical feeling."

So, from here, I'll list them. And you should understand you can buy boards from Newegg, fry's, microcenter, target etc.... and you can try to find your own with these tips. I simply used Amazon because it offers free shipping on most items over $25 even without prime. As well, they tend to be... somewhat responsible for their sellers.

TKL, no Backlight, Blue Switches:

Again, some things to keep in mind; add tax to most, if not all of these. I tried to keep them as far under $40 as I could, but the ones with decent reviews don't seem to go as low. As well, please feel free to do your own research. Or, if you want we can try on your preferred shopping site. Seek other users advice, maybe one of the mechanical keyboard subs will offer better advice. You absolutely do not have to buy any of these, nor do I get anything if you do. Also, please copy and paste the names of the boards for a youtube search, many of these low end boards send them out for review for coverage. Also, you could try doing a search yourself, just to check, "Mechanical keyboards" into amazon or whatever, and sort by reviews, and price, and avoid "MECHANICAL FEEL" at all costs, as it is not truely mechanical. I hope I've helped at least somewhat, and again, you absolutely don't have to settle on a link I provided, consider waiting for a sale, or observing this sub for a bit. Most of those boards likely hover around their price or will go lower.

Good luck, and I hope I've helped even a little. Let me know if I can help more.

Edit: Also, there's no need to rush into a buy at all, assuming you don't need one ASAP. Shop around, watch for deals on one you're interested, or just watch for new things to enter your price range.

It’s the very affordable Aukey Keeb from Amazon with white Ebay key caps.

There's an Aukey TKL with Outemu Blue switches for an extera $9 with promo code NQCOISWN. They're good feeling switches, though they might not last forever.

PROMO CODE: NQCOISWN

This code on Amazon makes the [Aukey 87-key Mechanical Keyboard with Outemu Blue Switches $20](https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches-Resistant/dp/B06XKV8R9Z/ref=sr_1_63?ie=UTF8&qid=1515139573&sr=8-63&keywords=mechanical+keyboard).

These boards are solid especially for the price.

okay for TKL boards I'll throw a few options ranging from super budget to a smidge over your budget.

$28 no backlight, blue switches (loud, clicky)
$45 RGB backlight, blue switches (loud, clicky)
$70 red backlight, MX red switches (linear, not as loud, "name brand" switches)
$80 RGB, MX red switches (linear, name brand switches)
$99 blue led. range of cherry MX switches (my personal favourites are brown or silver)

the AUKey and reddragon boards are both good 'beginner' boards to get you into the world of mechanical keybs without too much of an initial outlay.

also worth noting, if keycaps etc are a bonus for you I would steer clear of Corsair boards (i have a k65 and trying to find any keycaps that come with corsairs stupid non standard bottom row is an exercise in frustration.)

I have this keyboard and it is pretty good for the price. I like the switches and the keycaps are better than the stock ones that came with my Corsair K65. The board itself is pretty solid in construction. I have more expensive boards, but that one will stay in my collection for now. https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Mechanical-Keyboard-Resistant-Chromebook/dp/B06XKV8R9Z/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1521687894&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=Aukey+mechanical+keyboard&psc=1

I searched Amazon, and the first three items I got were a $40 full sized mech, followed by 2 tenkeyless mechs for $25.

Try Gearbest as well. And Massdrop. Personally, I bought mine from JD(Aula F2012 for 139RMB)

Also the Logitech K120 keyboard (one of the worst keyboards I've ever used in my life) combined with the gamer mouse, and I'm sure other things this person wastes money on... That's hilarious to me.

Just pick something like this up. Aukey is a good brand.

https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Mechanical-Redragon-ABS-Metal-Backlight/dp/B01LXD7STC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1550858815&sr=8-4&keywords=redragon+no+backlight

I can vouch for the AUKEY KM-G9 and the Tecware Phantom. The KM-G9 is a very basic keyboard and also very loud due to the Outemu blues, but it feels great to type on. The Phantom has programmable RGB lights and a variety of switches. I have one with browns and couldn't be happier.

Thank you :D I don't think I'll be replacing these again for a while. I mean, I'm low on cash to spend on extra stuff like this now and the better option would be to wait and save up, but eh, rather I spend it on this than something else.

What keycaps would you suggest I could get in the future? This is the keyboard I got.

Stupid question but I wanted to buy gateron green switches for my keyboard and damn I'm not going to mess up my perfectly fine keyboard and bought a budget aukey keyboard to learn to solder switches but when I tried ordering them on MD they asked for plate or PCB switches and do know which one are for my board. Can you help me here the link to the keyboard https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XKV8R9Z/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1495728410&sr=8-11&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=aukey+mechanical+keyboard

I have this one that I use at work: Aukey TKL https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Mechanical-Keyboard-Anti-Ghosting-Resistant/dp/B06XKV8R9Z/ and the best part is that it's $20.99 right now after coupon code IL48KTRN. I have the backlit version as well. Both use Outemu blue clicky switches and have a metal case. Very solid case.

No problem.

Yeah, that would work. I've mocked up a (very) rudimentary design of the solution for you:

   With this, your mac will be one cable connected to it for both charging and connecting to the monitor as the charger connects to the type c dock :-)
   
   Thank you for the sub!, didn't expect that. I hope to make some enjoyable content for you and spark some ideas! - speaking of my first video with the webcam kill switch includes how to mount the switch to the underside of the desk (which would be perfect for the USB hub - item 1. Will be super discrete and clean)
   
   PS - if you get this setup - post a pic here for me? :-)

   But so subjective - I have a corsair K70 Mk2 Low Profile with a Mionix Naos (will take a lot to make me change!)

Should be this one

My 2 main keyboards are that and a g710. I use the aukey as my daily driver and for the price it's been unbeatable.

hello, i got this keyboard https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Mechanical-Keyboard-Anti-Ghosting-Resistant/dp/B06XKV8R9Z/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1538350215&sr=8-5&keywords=aukey+mechanical+keyboard 2 weeks ago for gaming , it is good but too loud i got it for 25 bucks, i want to switch to another keyboard like the g213 or the k55 which do you recommend ? i see big streamers playing with the g213 so i think it s ok.

my budget is 50 euros

thanks

If anyones curious abour the keyboard itself its an aukey TKL keyboard with outemu blue switches. Its a really cheep for what you get and i highly recommend it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XKV8R9Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_V3Z4CbVG7VVZT

You can get the Aukey mechanical keyboard (blue switches) for $20.
https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Mechanical-Keyboard-Anti-Ghosting-Resistant/dp/B06XKV8R9Z/

Use coupon 4HGUUDRB

I don't like that it doesn't have a numpad.

Aukey has another one which has RGB, backlit, and has numpad. Use coupon code GO47KU82 to lower price to $31.

Here is my previous iteration: https://i.redd.it/tzb9bl4iho321.jpg

It has been updated with some new keycaps, laptop riser, Xbox One S and a new pot for my cactus!

I have also sorted the cables a bit but it's still a pain because the laptop is constantly moving in and out.

Here is the gear:

The exact keyboard is no longer made, but this is the same:

Hey guys, looking for some expertise from the most clacky subreddit out there!

Just started grad school and, as part of the program, was given the new MacBook Pro, complete with it's awful butterfly switched keyboard (boooooo... ). So:

• I'm looking for a cheaper keeb (<$50-100) to use as a daily driver that can handle frequent travel in a backpack, on a bike, between school, home, and my work (that I definitely don't study during......... ) or at least be cheap enough that I don't have to care too much.
  
• I'd prefer TKL or 75%, but I might be able to get 60% to work. Arrow keys on the first layer would probably be nice for coding though.
  
• Switches don't matter too much as I'm not necessarily looking for the highest quality keeb, but I really like heavy tactile switches by pretty much anyone. Not a big fan of linear.
  
• A usb-c keyboard would be nice, but I can always just use a converter if it has a usb. Wireless is fancy, but from what I understand that makes the keyboard bulky, which makes travel with it slightly more tricky.
  
  I found a few that I think would be fine, but I'd be interested to hear a few experts (obsessives? Haha) weigh in.

I've used this keyboard in the RGB style for a year now and it's been great. Fingers never hurt. The one I linked is not RGB but it's the same style. Probably the cheapest one you can get. I previously had a keyboard with official Cherry MX blues and I didn't notice any decline in quality to what the Aukey keyboard uses.

All i can do is list the peripherals

Here are some options that match your Description:

Keyboards: Redragon K502 price: $24

Keyboards: AUKEY Mechanical price: $28

Headphones: TRN V80 price: $25

Headphones: VJJB K4 K4S price: $25

Headphones: CCA C10 price: $25

Headphones: Symphonized XTC 2.0 price: $26

Mousepads: VicTsing Extended price: $15

Mousepads: BUANIIH Pad price: $14

Mousepads: iLeadon MousePad price: $14

if you choose one from each category the cost will be around a $100

You have $600 left to spend on a pc.

Actually im wondering why not just go with atx? Case, motherboard and power supply are going to be way cheaper this way, also you cant usb bios flashback that msi b450i so if you want small form factor yeah just go with your original x570
